Things our parents said.

Mum brought me up on her own and we weren't well off. The main thing I remember her saying (as I was dropped off at friends and relatives) was 'eat as much as you can'!

I like that Seahorse, it really made me chuckle.

[CaroltheCarrot]

Och, youre just not bothering your shirt tail!

[Uber-Uncool]

'erugh! go outside and shake yerself', said my dad when one of us passed wind!

[Nicos]

Shake a stick!

Wipe that smile off your face, comes to mind BB.

[Potstubsdustbins]

In my house that was 'wipe that smile off your face, before I wipe it off for you'

"Do you want to feel the back of my hand?"


"Don't try & be clever with me"

"If I've told you once I've told you a thousand times"

Two beans and a bean, a bean and a half and half a bean. That's how many beans make five.

The version I knew was
" a bean, and a bean, and a half-a-been, a bean-and-a-half, and a bean"

My mum used to say about fine drizzle - "It's rain you get wet in!" ???

[chris]

ya, my dad said similar - it's that rain that soaks you.

[veggiechicken]

My Mum would say - What you making a fuss about - you're skin's waterproof!

It reminds of the one - "you haven't the sense of a wet hen." (Meaning: You haven't the sense to come in from the wet).
