Things Mom Always Said

 A little "birdie" told me!

 All I do is follow you around, picking up after you like some maid.

 Always wear clean underwear in case you get in an accident.

 Am I talking to a brick wall?

 Answer me when I ask you a question!

 Are you going out dressed like that?

 Are your hands broken? Pick it up yourself! I'm not your maid!

 As long as you live under my roof, you'll do as I say.

 Be good.

 Beds are NOT made for jumping on.

 Bored! How can you be bored? I was never bored at your age.

 Call me when you get there, just so I know you're okay.

 Did you brush your teeth?

 Did you clean your room?

Did you comb your hair?

 Did you flush?

Do as I say, not as I do.

 Do you think I'm made of money?

 Do you think your socks are going to pick themselves up?

 Don't ask me WHY. The answer is NO.

 Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.

 Don't cross your eyes or they'll freeze that way.

Don't eat that, you'll get worms!

 Don't make me come in there!

 Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where it's been.

 Don't run in the house.

 Don't sit too close to the television, it'll ruin your eyes.

How many times do I have to tell you?

 I can always tell when you're lying.

 I didn't ask who put it there, I said "Pick it up!

 I don't care what "everyone" is doing. I care what YOU are doing!

 I don't care who started it, I said stop!

 I hope someday you have children just like you.

 I will always love you - no matter what.

 I would have never talked to MY mother like that!

 If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...

 If it were a snake, it would have bitten you.

 If wishes were horses...

 If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

 If you're too full to finish your dinner, you're too full for dessert.

 If you're too sick to go to school, you're too sick to play outside.

 I'll treat you like an adult when you start acting like one.

 I'm doing this for your own good.

 I'm going to give you until the count of three...

 I'm not always going to be around to do these things for you.

 I'm not going to ask you again.

 I'm not running a taxi service.

 I'm not your cleaning lady!

 I'm not your maid!

 I'm not your waitress!

 Is your homework finished?

 Isn't it past your bedtime?

 It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust everyone else.

 Life isn't fair.

 Little pitchers have big ears.

 Look at me when I'm talking to you.

 Look at this room! It looks like a pig-sty!

 Money does NOT grow on trees.

 Never try on anyone else's glasses or you'll go blind.

 No child of MINE would do something like that.

 No, I don't know where your socks are,its not my day to watch them!

 Now, say you're sorry...and MEAN it!

Running away? I'll help you pack.

 Running away? Is that a threat or a promise?

 Shut the door! I'm not heating (air conditioning) the entire neighborhood!

 Well, people in Hades want ice water, but do you see me with a PITCHER?

 What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too?

 What part of NO don't you understand?

 You should have that phone surgically implanted in your ear.

 You won't be happy until you break that, will you?

You'd forget your head if it wasn't attached to your shoulders!

 You're going to put your eye out with that thing!

Shut the door!  Were you born in a barn?
