Parental Quotes Through The Years

[Miranda]

Any parental quotes you'd like to share from your childhood or now? If you have children, please add your sage quotes.

Dad:

"You're gonna nickel and dime me to death!".

"Don't thought... you know what happened to the old lady who thought she was going to fart, she shit her pants".

"Whatever".

"Ask your Mom".

"Yeah, RIGHT"

Mom:

"Wait 'til your Dad gets home".

" Ask your Dad".

" What have I always told you?"

[SuZQZ]

From my mom (both said very tongue in cheek):

"I must have been the Whore of Babylon in a previous life, and this life is my punishment."

"I just know that I died on that operating table and this is hell."

From my dad to most any question:

"Huh?"

Me to my daughter:

"A fly farting in Wisconsin would scare you." (she's always saying, "That scared me!" Even at the most ridiculous things)

"Stop sweating the small stuff."

"What is, is. Deal with it and move forward."

[Kit Kat P]

From Dad

Your going to go, your going to like it, and your gong to have fun, whether you like it or not.

If I haven't said "Yes" assume it's a "No", even if you haven't asked yet.

You have until I count to three and then it's the belt.

Go ask your Mom.

From Mom

I have the spoon in my purse (it was wooden spoon and almost never used)

Go ask your Dad (which would start the fun game of parent tennis)

What were you thinking???

"You're gonna nickel and dime me to death!".

Dollar stores give whole new meaning to the term

Hehe, I wonder what the newest term referring to money is? You're gonna Twenty spot me to the poor house?

my mom always said "this is not a yes or no question" when she'd tell us to do something and we'd question it/say something to her.

my dad actually never had anything that he always said. and i think that is the only one from my mom. oh yeah she did have another "kill them with kindness" that one never worked for me

and now i say to my kids when they ask for something or ask to do something that i say no to... and they say why... i say "because you asked and i said no". it's simple really. you asked, i said no, that's WHY.

other than that i don't think i say anything else to my kids all the time. maybe... "go find something to do" i might say that one often.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Dad:

"You are letting your mouth write checks and it's your ass thats going to bounce."

"How much do you need?"

"Get your dick skinners off that."

"Can you explain the logic behind that?"

" I am going to slap you into next week."

Mom:

"Oh Markie, what did you do now?"

"How is it that someone so damn smart can do such stupid things?"

Me:

"What do you think that means?"

"Control your rage."

"I don't know, lets find out..."

"42" (generic answer to every question presented to me"

[JaneDead]

oh i just thought of another one i say to my son all the time... he will ask what a word means and i will tell him to look it up in the dictionary. not because i don't want to tell him, but because i want him to learn the joy of looking up words in the dictionary. and yes, i mean joy. i LOVE the dictionary.

[SpidersMoment]

Dad

"I know everything there ever is to know about anything, but i dont know that"

"Did i just step on a Frog?"

"What do you think this is, your birthday?" (on your birthday)

"It is okey for you to talk to Strangers now" (after i got my first job)

Mom

"Phooey"

"I guess" (was her answer to EVERYTHING)

I cant think of much else
