Anything you can do...

When you were young what crazy sayings did your parents have that even though you hated back then you know you will use on your children? If I'd hurt myself I'd say to mum it hurts when I do this� and she'd say 'don't do it then' lol

[redcrx]

haha 4get, our mum has really messed us up hasnt she.

babycrx gets:

'arms up for bobby men' when taking his tops off
when asked the time in eves he now says 'time for mafus bedtime show'
and i cant wait to do the ' you know what thought did, thought he had a paper-round and when he looked it was a toilet roll' one

[4getmenot]

or when I used to say I'm starving, 'No, ethiopians are starving'

[natalie_1982]

If I asked mum where dad had gone or vice versa I used to get "He's gone to see a man about a dog". I used to get so excited thinking we would be getting a puppy. No such luck, I had a crappy rabbit and a guinea-pig.

[natalie_1982]

Oh, and if I said I wanted anything I as told "I want doesn't get".

[redcrx]

we were too natalie. Ive already started that one with babycrx lol

[radiogaga]

i find myself saying " ill be the boss a little while longer"
just like my mum said to me.

[POLLIANNA]

Did anyone get the one ' stop crying or i'll give you something to cry for' or did i just have a bad childhood?

[redcrx]

lol, got that one too.

the best one was in answer to 'its not fair!' the reply being 'neither is a black man's bum'.

Where the heck did that one come from lol

[natalie_1982]

The wierdest one I think was if my brother or I snatched something or bit (when we were really small) my mum / dad would say "Snatch, cat, bite, louse, you won't go to nanny's house". Like it was a punishment!

Don't get me wrong, I love my nan dearly but at 5 years old, spending the day at my nan's with my baby brother wasn't exactly my idea of fun.

[natalie_1982]

redcrx, I had that one too - and the crying one, you are not alone POLIANNA

[Lore]

Oh 4get, please don't remind me of the fact that I am slowly sounding more and more like my mum.

I used to say "Muuuuum, I'm really boooriiiing" to which she would reply - with one eyebrow raised, " yes, I know!"

The one I dislike the most - a place for everything and everything in it's place. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

also, if my dad said he was going on a diet, I'd scream the place down demanding to go with him.

[natalie_1982]

One I do, which I am ashamed to admit, is make my 6 year old neice take her coat off when she comes in or she "won't feel the benefit".

[4getmenot]

Nat me and my mate had took her little girl out for breakfast and she kept saying �I want to go to Lanky Bills, I want to go to Lanky Bills� her mum said I want never gets and she said �I would like to go to Lanky Bills�

[annie0000]

We had the "I want doesn't get", but also got "shy bairns get no sweeties" which was a total contradiction.

[POLLIANNA]

redcrx, Got the 'it's not fair' but the reply was neither is the hair on a black mans leg. Oh why !!

[caz247]

thank god for this thread now i know i didn't have some
weird Glaswegian childhood lol

[natalie_1982]

I cottoned on to that pretty quickly too 4get, I then changed it to "I need a new pencil case" in stead of "I want", or whatever it was I was hankering after

[Lore]

You'll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute!

[4getmenot]

not wuite the same is it pollianna lol. black mans bum is much better. I remember if me and sis Had been given pudding and she�d took the bigger one, if I moaned mum would say �ok if you got there first which one would you have took� Whatever I said I couldn�t win as if I said The Biggest she�d say well there you go then and If I said the smallest she�d say �well that�s ok coz that�s what you got�

"When you get your own house, you can do what you want"

When i eventually did and got a Dog, 2 cats, a gerbil (RIP lol!) 2 fish (RIP lol) and a baby - THEY WENT MAAAAAAD!

Well if they had let me have one at home then maybe I wouldnt of had to buy the bl00dy pet shop!
