When I would go to my Mom with “I wish I had…” her response would be “Wish in one hand and crap in the other, see which fills up quickest”
Gotta love that Texian charm!
Don’t tell your father and leave some taters for the rest of us lol
“ shut that door ! We don’t live in a barn “
Don’t come running to me when you fall and break your neck…
“Promise me you will brighten up” from Dad.
“Fools’ names and fools’ faces always appear in public places.” This phrase from Mom’s mouth started when I wanted to add to the graffiti in parks and restrooms. You can imagine how she felt about Facebook!
Well, I did hear “I love you” a lot. Kinda miss that.
(Hey - I’m not crying - you’re crying!!!)
It’s a nice day, stop playing on your computer and go outside
apart from Mom knows best the one I remember with most fondness is when my elder brothers and sister were giving out about me was her reply to them ’ * A child who asks questions does not become a fool.’
It’s a beautiful why are you being a houseplant?
Dont eat so much ketchup
My mother and I would go shopping and when I said I wanted this or that she would say
“son you have a champagne appetite on a beer pocket book”.
Mom always said to put your best foot forward and you will never go wrong! Plus, she always sang “How much is that puppy in the window?”
Mom teaching me to drive…: " Right turns honey & you will never go wrong".
Don’t think that was just about driving.
**What in God’s name are you doing ? I swear to God your gonna put me in an early grave.
They always seemed to come together…lol**
If you come home before dinner you’re in for the day.
“Stop making that face or it will stay like that” It did, Now I look just like Dad.
What a great question - it stirs up so many memories. My mother passed away 32 years ago and I find the older I get the more I sound like her, which is a good thing. Her response to someone gossiping or bad-mouthing someone was, “If you’ve got nothing nice to say, say nothing at all”. She was also fond of saying, “You can get right back on your horse and go back where you came from”.
Mind your P’s and Q’s .
dont waste cash on food … cash is for gambling
