    Default THINGS YOUR PARENTS USED TO SAY ......

    Do you find yourself sounding like them sometimes .............

    Do as I say and not what I do

    Everything happens for a reason

    If your friends jumped off a bridge would you do it ?

    Wait till your dad gets home

    I'll give you something to cry about

    Have a lick and a promise

    I've got a bone to pick with you

    You have a bee in your bonnet

    Too many irons in the fire

    I'm sure you can all think of some ...........

    What time did you get in last night and when you said a time she would tell you the time you had- so why ask ???? My friends mum would say it too.

    There are people starving and you are wasting food - like you could pack and send it anyhow.
    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    this morning only I became my nan!!!

    I had a bad habit in france to put milk in a bowl to do my hot chocolate and before I put milk away I'd always talk a gulp straight out of the bottle!! I know it's not nice but habits are never nice !!

    this am Hubby put milk in his cereal and took sip of milk straight out of bottle and suddenly my mouth opened and out came my nan's " there's no glass in this house??!!" ( Y'a pas de verre dans cette maison?? my nan being french LOL) but how spooky that my brain translated the sentence!!!!?


    I said most of the above LOL

    If I said "Don't care" to my gran she used to say
    "Don't care was made to care
    Don't care was hung
    Don't care was put in a pot
    and boiled til he was done"

    but I still don't care!
