Some Old Ones Resurrected - Feel Free To Add More.

I know lots of these have been published before, but I just found this collection on Facebook and couldn't resist dumping them here. I'm sure you'll enrich the thread with further examples.

 

Things my mother taught me

 

Appreciation of a job well done. “If you kids are going to kill each other, do it outside, I’ve just finished cleaning this floor.”

Religion, “You better pray that will come out of the carpet”

Time Travel, “If you don’t behave, I’ll knock you into the middle of next week”

Logic.”Because I say so”

More Logic,”If you fall off that bike and break your leg, don’t come running to me”

Irony,”If you keep crying I’ll give you something to cry for”

Osmosis, “Shut your mouth and get on with your dinner”

Contortion, ‘Just look at that dirt on the back of your neck”

Come on guys and gals, forget the boring News topic with its dry-as-dust ruminations about Cameron, come along to the home of nonsense and let's have a few of your "Parental Remarks from your childhood" to lighten us all up. We're getting far too serious here at times, with such bores as Brexit and Megxit, Sunak and Starmer, etc.

Eat your carrots and you'll see in the dark.

Do you think I was born yesterday?

If you make a face and the wind changes you will stay that way
