Mom-isms

2. Nobody is happy unless MOMMA is happy! Dammit!

3. " You'll shoot someone's eye out!"

4. " Don't make me stop this car!"

5. "Stop whining."

6. "If you ask me again, I'm gonna" (fill in the blank, depending on level of irritation).

7. "I think you need a nap." (no, wait, I think it is me who needs the nap)

"Don't make me get the wooden spoon!"

do you notice that many of these are "don't make me"?? :funn: We sure liked to "make" our mom's do things didn't we??:floor: :floor:

Yep. I am constantly amazed that it doesn't change with each generation either! I said the same things, and now I hear my daughter saying the same things to her son.

"if (fill in blank) jumped off the roof, would you do it too?"


"I have eyes in the back of my head"

- i brought you into this world and i can by god take you out.

- don't make mommy kill you.

- shut up or i will give you something to really cry about.

and just so you know - i was NOT an abused child. just the threat of these things worked magic on me and my sis.

- don't worry, if you got kidnapped they'd bring you back in the daylight.

"I will help you pack your bags, without any toys in it"....after the threat they will run away, followed by...

"hope you find another family to take you in"

sarafunn has since told me after all her higher education that this last one is a form of child abuse! :roll:

"I'm sick of you treating this house like it's a damn dormitory."- Dsaurus Rex
"Did you put xxx on my credit card"- Dsaurus Rex

I heard Bill Cosby say once that his mother was an authority on pig styes (sp?). I couldn't help but laugh because my mother always told me that my room looked like a pig stye. :idontno: I guess she was an authority also.

Roseanne (if anyone remembers her), used to do a stand up routine about her uterus being a tracking device to find everything her family could never seem to find themselves, like socks, knapsacks, car keys, shoes,........

She was soooooo funny in her early years, I would LMAO. I can certainly relate to this statement, Mr. dbuck is the ABSOLUTE worse about asking before even looking. DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!

4. " Don't make me stop this car!"

Yes, this is one that I recall, but the printed words just don't do it justice. My mom would get one word out at a time as she would look back over her right shoulder raising her right hand, then quickly looking back at the road to get the car back on it. We must have been naughty, because my Mom is one of the most laid back people I know.

Debbysaurus Rex was a lot of bark and no bite. She can yell with the best of them, but she gets over it really quick and moves on to the next thing to complain about. It's an amazing cycle we go through. I think I rile her up. Gfunn and Phead know how to handle her at this point. I think it's a mother/daughter thing though. Speaking of...I need to start thinking of mommy day presents... :scratch: I owe her pretty big. I usually get Gfunn something really good, but think the Rex deserves something good this year. Phead's gonna have to pay...seeing that he makes the big bucks these days.

I KNOW you rile her up. Well, don't give her flowers. Get her a new puppy?
