as you grew up , did you hear some of the adults telling the children:"You have to wait, the fat lady has not sung yet." or, "give me a wet kiss--don't be like chicken lips." or, "don't cry--suck it up,and be somebody."or, "you will get a treat if you take care of your sister for the day." OH! what memories we have........:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: slaphead waving

the Easter bunny will leave you lots of candy eggs. The tooth farry will leave you a nickel for that tooth. Santa, needs milk and cookies left out, so he can leave you a gift. The stork will bring you a little brother next week. Hurry, smile for the camera, or i will whip your bottom.

My mom used to tell us:

"When they passed out the brains, you thought they said pains and you didn't want any."

they told my brother:" only throw darts at the dart board, not at your little sister." so, he had to throw one at my little sisters back.(she still has a scar from it today.)

"don't hit your brother in the head with that hammer, he'll die then you'll be sorry"- My mom said this to my youngest brother about the oldest brother, he still says today he should have done it while he had the chance... (he's kidding of course)

"If you can't say any thing nice, don't say any thing at all"

"Stop crying or I'll give you some thing to cry about"

"You can do any thing you set your mind to"

"Never hit a girl" My nieces should thank her for that one...

I So love my mother..

My mother said "Brother Duck!" when most people would have cursed.

also

"Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms."

I love her, but thank goodness understanding wasn't required.
