Momisms

[Bob Evans]

My pastor will be out of the country and has given me the assignment to preach on mothers day. Here is where I need your help. I am looking for momisms or things your mom use to say to reinforce life lessons. For example

Life is hard by the yard but a cinch by the inch.If you don't have anything nice to say about someone then don't say anything at all.

I have a little time but if you could give me any help I would appreciate it.

[Scott Hilton]

You've got to the count of 10.....1, 2, 3 (We run away)

[Greg Farra]

'Watch what you say to people, or you may get your face pushed in!'. :basic04

[Barb Bouldrey]

Stop crying or I will give you something to cry about.

[Jon Twitchell]

I'll give you something to cry about...

[Ken Pell]

Now you have to tell another lie to back that one up.

As long as you live in this house and under this roof you will live by these rules.

[Scott Hilton]

Do as I say, not as I do

[Katelynn Scott]

Good, better, best,
Never let it rest,
'Till your good is better
and your better is best.

From a lady in my ss class -
There’s no pot too crooked that a lid won’t fit.
Love many, trust few, and learn to paddle your own canoe.

[Chris Hole]

Just wait til your father gets home.

... and if you're friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?

Are you wearing clean underwear?

If you hit your sister one more time you're going to get a spanking.

Boy those bring back memories! :basic05

[Chris Hole]

Just wait till you have kids of your own.

[Anne and Dwayne Hood]

"Well, they may not know any better, but I have taught you better."
"Bring me a switch, and if it breaks, you will have get me another one."

[Ken Pell]

Wait until your father gets home!

Go ask your daddy.

By the way naznetters Bill and Bob share the same mom.

[Mamie White]

"Everyone is not doing it, because you are not."

[Mike Killingsworth]

Close the door, you weren't raised in a barn


Don't sit so close to the TV, it'll ruin your eyes

[Chris Hole]

"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,"

Wow! Your Mom said stuff like that?? Mine said:

"Clean your room." (ad nauseum)

and one of my favorites, "Close your mouth and eat."

[Mike Schutz]

"I made enough to feed the Russian army, and still no leftovers!"

"Am I the only one who notices that the trash needs to go out?"

"Your wife will thank me someday."

"Are you hard of hearing? Turn it down!"

"Are you sure you're not adopted?"
(Oh wait - my mom didn't say that. I just think it whenever I'm with my family.)

[Sue Pyles]

If you fall and break your leg, don't come running to me.
Eat all your carrots so you can have good eyes.
Be careful what you wish for , it may come true.
If you don't stop crossing your eyes they are going to get stuck that way.
Money doesn't grow on trees.
I can't wait until you have kids of your own.
You would lose your head if it wasn't attached.
If your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you?

[Ken Pell]

You can catch more flies with honey that you can with vinegar.

[Chris Hole]

If you think that [insert whatever it was I was thinking at the time], you'd better think again.

I never did understand how she knew what I was thinking until I became a Mom myself.

[Chris Hole]

I forgot this old favorite -- mothers of young boys, use this one at your own risk.

"Eat every bean and pea on your plate."

[Ken Pell]

"You'd lose your head if it wasn't attached."

[Jim Franklin]

If I've told you once I have told you a thousand times.

If you make faces like that your face may freeze that way.

Do you have your galoshes?

Stop it or I'll have your sister beat up on you.

ok, so I put that last one in just to see if my sis was lurking.

[Lindsey Grant]

Haha accidentally found this in my favorite places from around Mother's day last year, it appears...
Lots of momisms here:

Hey, Lindsey! Just have to ask you re your current signature. Don't quite understand this snorkeling in Albuquerque, of all places [in the middle of a desert? :laughing] And then that guy's name (I forgot now, & can't look while writing this post). Thanks! ;)


BTW, Lindsey & Dana, saw Monk last week. Now I see why it was so funny. Why didn't someone tell me decades ago that it was funny, rather than the usual "scary detective story"? :confused:

Lol it's from the movie National Treasure. They're trying to solve a riddle and one of the henchmen throws out a ridiculous answer, so the good guy throws out two equally irrelevant ideas :)

[Gina Stevenson]

OK. 'Guess I rather overlooked that "National Treasure" you have by Riley's name [whoever that is]. Wouldn't even recognize it as a movie title, actually, but just tho't it might be some publication in which the quote was found, authored by that Riley.

Can tell how up on movies I am [not]! :basic05
