THINGS YOU DON'T HEAR ANY MORE

Be sure and refill the ice trays, we are going to have company after while.

Watch for the postman, I want to get this letter to Aunt Mary in the mail today.

Quit slamming the screen door when you are on your way out!

Be sure and pull the windows down when you leave, it looks like a shower is coming up.

Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.

Wash your feet before you go to bed, they are nasty from playing outside all day bare footed.

Why can't you remember to roll up your pant legs? Getting them caught in the bicycle chain so many times is tearing them up.

Your have torn the knees out of that pair of pants so many times there is nothing left to put a patch on.

Don't you go out side with your good school clothes on!

Go comb your hair, it looks like the rats have nested in it all night.

Be sure and pour the cream off the top of the milk when you open the new bottle.

Take that empty bottle to the store with you so you won't have to pay a deposit on another one.

Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won't get on it.

Quit jumping on the floor! I have a cake in the oven and you are going to make it fall if you don't quit!

Let me know when the Fuller Brush man comes by, I need to get a few things from him.

Open the back door and see if we can get a breeze through here, it is getting hot.

You can walk to the store, it won't hurt you to get some exercise.

Don't sit to close to the TV it is hard on your eyes.

If you pull that stunt again I am going to wear you out!

Wash under your neck before you come to the table, you have beads of dirt and sweat all under there.

No! I don't have nine cents for you to go to the show, do you think money grows on trees?

Eat those vegetables, they will make you big and strong like your daddy.

That dog is NOT coming in this house! I don't care how cold it is out there, dogs just don't come in the house.

Sit still! I am trying to get your hair cut straight and you keep moving and it is all botched up.

Hush your mouth! I don't want to hear words like that, I will wash your mouth out with soap!

It is time for your system to be cleaned out, I am going to give you a dose of Castor Oil tonight.

If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it, you will get another one when you get home.

Quit crossing your eyes! They will get hung that way!

When you take your driving test don't forget to signal each turn. Left arm straight out the window for a left turn, left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn and straight down to the side of the door when you are going to stop.

It is Yes sir! And No sir! to me young man, and don't you forget it!

While we are at Aunt Mary's and Uncle John's you kids can eat when the adults get though and I don't want to hear any "I don't like this stuff", keep you mouth shut and eat everything on your plate.

My personal favorites:

In or out, in or out--make up your mind, in or out! You come in one more time before I call you and you're staying in.

And then there was my summertime favorite.

My GAWD! Look in your ears (right, like I could) you could grow potatos in there. Now hold still while I scrub....

Even though some of those are peculiarly American I can recall most of them from my youth, but here is one my mum always came out with.
If we asked "mum what's for dinner" she would reply:
"Bees knees and chickens eyebrows!"

I wonder if Jesus' mom, Mary ever said,

"Close that door, were you born in a barn?"

Said affectionately, "My wandering boy has come home."

While leaving for school, "Watch both ways before crossing the street."

My favorite was when my brother phoned me as he was on his death bed because of heart trouble and said that he just called to tell me how much he loved me. (Sorry if this is too somber).

One that I heard often from my mom was:
Sh*t in one hand, want in the other and see which feels up first.

I'll often say "up one side and down the other" as in telling my daughter "I love you up one side and down the other". When she was little she'd try and copy me only it came out "upside down the the other" which I found so cute. Perhaps my favorite of all time is remembering my Aunt Grace (actually my great-aunt) whenever she asked a small favor like bringing her something she'd say "I'll dance a jig at your wedding". As a kid I had every intention of taking her up on that because I loved the idea but unfortunately she didn't live long enough. I also vividly remember her saying "don't step on my corns" which I was very careful not to do.

"When you take your driving test don't forget to signal each turn. Left arm straight out the window for a left turn, left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn and straight down to the side of the door when you are going to stop."

I just took the written test to get my California driver's license renewed. The good old arm signals are still in the DMV handbook, part of the material that is fair game for you to be tested on. However, it wasn't on the particular test that I took.

Arm signals still come in handy when I'm out riding my bike.
