Dotsie, and you know the corollary:

Why buy the whole pig just to get a little sausage?

HA! I couldn't resist. Hope that wasn't too risque!

Since when has sausage been risque? I must be eating at the wrong restaurants....only kidding Meredith, had to say it!

I heard my girlfriends mother say this to her a million times when we were in highshool;

I'll slap you so hard you won't know whether to s--t or go blind.

Here are some from my mother who taught me all I know:

If your going to kill each other, do it outside, I just finished cleaning...

If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week...

Because I said so, thats why...

If you fall from that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me...

Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about...

SHUT your mouth, and eat your supper...

Will you look at this dirt on the BACK of your neck...

You'll sit there until all that spinach is gone...

I brougfht you into this world, and I can take you out...

Just wait until your father gets home...

If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they will stay that way...

Put your sweater on, don't you think I know when you're cold?...

When that lawn mower cuts your toes off, don't come running to me...

If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow...

You're just like your father...

Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?...

When you get to be my age, you'll understand...

One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you...

There are probably more but I can't remember them!

If you can't say something good, don't say anything.

It's better not to say anything, than say the wrong thing.

Here's a funny: "The secrecy of my job does not permit me to know what I am doing."

Will Rogers said, "We should live in such a way, that we would not be ashamed to sell our family parrot to the town gossip."

Luv ya,
brose

I heard it this way Meredith,
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

And we were always threatened with this
Do I have to get the wooden spoon?
We'd run but I don't remember ever being hit by it....:)

In my house my mother could never catch us TVC but I did get grazed ever so often, OUCH!!!!

Meredith, not too risque...and I have read that before. Too funny!

I always remember Mom asking ,"who ate the last piece?" And of course, none of us would own up to it. The reason she asked was because we always left the box, plate, container in the same spot...EMPTY!

Best advice my mom ever gave me...be true to yourself! Hey mom's get it right ever once in a while!!

How about, let your conscience be your guide?

Bad bad Anne, but oh so funny and true too,unfortunately...
