Things my mother used to say

[onejayhawk]

Father's too for that matter, or any influential person. In my case my mother is the one with the sharpest tongue.

Bless your pointy little head.

And when she was really upset

Just because your head comes to a point, doesn't mean you're sharp.

PS Wasn't there a contest for these sayings a while back? Virginia Slims or something like that? If anyone can get the winners, post em.

My father gave his three sons these words of wisdom...

"You can fall in love with anybody, she might as well be rich"

A smart man

"If you lose everything else, you still have your principles. Don't forget that." --Dad. I didn't understand the significance of this at the time he said it, but now I know.

"If she were on fire, I hope you wouldn't back up to take a piss."
--my Dad again, about a longtime girlfriend I had who had recently burned me royally, yet I still had feelings for (I was young). Dad's always been very good at comforting me with a laugh, like that.

"Whatever THAT means." -My dad.

"Don't worry. It could be worse, you could be French".

And then I moved in with a Frenchwoman...

My mother used to say;
"Do you think I'm green as I'm cabbage looking?"

My dad;
"Do you think I came up the Clyde in a banana boat?"

(a very un-PC old Scots saying!)

Do your homework, get of the computer! Did you do your homework yet! You should study! Why aren't you studying?...... - my mom

That depends which hagiographic account you hear.
I do remember my first thoughts, just after being born. One looked around behind me, and thought "Well, that's the last time I going up one of them."

My late grandmother used to say:

"If the hound hadn't stopped for a sh*t it would have caught the hare"

Back when I was dropping out of college( I have since returned and got my degree) my mother used to say that "an education is something that no one can take from you."

"If you give a man a fire, you keep him warm for a day. If you set a man on fire, you keep him warm for life."

From a signature on seen on usenet. Or maybe it was a Yahoo! message board.

"We'll see..."
- my mom

This phrase, in response to a question meant that whatever I was asking about was not going to happen.

The lesson, don't trust wishy-washy people. Demand direct answers!!

Come on Narz. Give it to us straight.

My mom, "Can you fix the (Insert vulgarity here) computer"
So I come in to fix it. And I say "well heres what you have to do."
She cuts me off and says "just get it working"
