Things you never hear anymore...

I think I heard most of these while growing up. Some of them accompanied by a swift kick in the butt! [:0]

Go comb your hair.

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


Have you done your chores?


Quit slamming that screen door!


Do you want to go get me a switch?


Lets say grace.


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


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


It is; Yes, sir? No, sir? Yes maam? and No maam? to me and your elders, and don't you forget it!


You kids eat when the adults get through and I don't want to hear "I don't like this stuff". You better eat everything on your plate.


It looks like it might shower -- bring in the clothes from the line.


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 bare footed outside all day.


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


You 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 outside with your good school clothes on!


Because I said so!


Hang up your Sunday clothes; you know you need to pass them down to your brother in good condition.


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


Daddys home!


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


You boys stay close by, the car may not start and I will need you to help push it off.


There is a dollar in my purse, go by the service station and put some gas in the car.


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


You can walk; it won't hurt you to get some exercise.


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


Don't lose that button, I will sew it back on after while.


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


Here, take this magazine to the outhouse when you go, we are almost out of paper.


Do you think money grows on trees? You have to earn it.


Whats Momma cooking?


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.


I pledge allegiance to the flag?


We're going to church.

    That is because:

    Go comb your hair. You no longer have any.
    Be sure and refill the ice trays, we are going to have company after while.


    Have you done your chores? You now have grandkids to do the chores.

    Quit slamming that screen door! You no longer have the strength to open it.

    Do you want to go get me a switch? You would, but no longer have the strength to lift a switch.

    Lets say grace. You can no longer remember Grace either.

    Hush your mouth! I don't want to hear words like that. I will wash your mouth out with soap again! That will get your dentures clean!

    If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it, you will get another one when you get home. Can't remember you are retired and wandered off to elementary school again?


    It is; Yes, sir? No, sir? Yes maam? and No maam? to me and your elders, and don't you forget it! You no longer have to say that since there is no longer anyone older than you.

    You kids eat when the adults get through and I don't want to hear "I don't like this stuff". You better eat everything on your plate.
    Mabel, Iluv is sitting at the kids table again.

    It looks like it might shower -- bring in the clothes from the line.
    So thay can get clean, it will be his first shower this month.

    Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed. You no longer make it to bed, you just sleep in the recliner in front of the TV


    Wash your feet before you go to bed, they are nasty from playing bare footed outside all day. Poor old fart, forgot his shoes again.


    Why can't you remember to roll up your pants legs? Getting them caught in the bicycle chain so many times is tearing them up.
    If it makes you happy to call your wheel chair a bicycle, no one minds.


    You have torn the knees out of that pair of pants so many times there is nothing left to put a patch on. Old men do fall down a lot.


    Don't you go outside with your good school clothes on! You have been wearing the same clothes for 72 years?


    Because I said so! but hand me my dentures and I will tell you the real reason.


    Hang up your Sunday clothes; you know you need to pass them down to your brother in good condition. Your brother died in 1984.


    Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won't get on it. Will you ever learn to close the door behind you?


    Daddys home! 83 and still a daddy's boy.

    Do you think money grows on trees? Your pension is not that good!


    We're going to church. You can no longer find your way there.

    Daddys home! (usually followed by squeels of delight from me and son especially when Daddy has been gone for 3 days!)


    You can walk; it won't hurt you to get some exercise.

    Eat those vegetables; they will make you big and strong like your daddy. (not that it works on my son)

    My son hears these all the time.

    Some I remember:

    Dont make me pull this car over

    Just wait till your father gets home

    Your not to old to get a spanking mister

    Clean your plate, there are people starving in china

    Dont speek unless your spoken too.

    Why dont you go run around the block

    How many times do I have to tell you to turn of the lights, shut the door, pick up your clothes, make the bed ect...

    I dont care what jonnys mom lets him do

    If you stick your tounge out at me one more time Ill pull it right out of your head, grandma said that one time. she actually grabed hold and it felt like it was going to come out of my head....

    brings back memories, I could go on for ever with those sayings...

    most I remember usually had some sort of brutal conciquence as the end result.

    I liked your post it made me remember all the good times :)

    After you get off the schoolbus tonight, get in and get changed out of your school clothes, and get out to help your Dad.

    I grew up on a farm.
