It's just like Grandma always said...


Remember all those things grownups said to you when you were a kid - the stuff you rolled your eyes at? Let's list
'em here...they can be sayings, superstitions, proverbs, etc. - whatever your family specialized in! :lol:

I'll start: "Man plans, God laughs"

 

[tigsmom]

"Do you want your face to freeze like that?!"

"Because I'm the mother, thats why."

 

[figmentmom]

"Stop that - you'll put your eye out!"

 

[tigsmom]

" If you break your leg don't come running to me."

Theres a handful of sayings i know in Lithuanian that my grandmother STILL says to me, only i dont know what they translate to in English...so im not going to put them here... I might offend people!!

Never walk under a ladder, it's bad luck.

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






(I guess computer monitors are ok though)

Always wear clean underwear in case you get hit by a garbage truck.

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

But if you are about to get whacked by a garbage truck, surely the first thing you will do is soil yourself. Kinda’ irrelevant about the clean underwear! :lol:

I may not get this exactly word for word, and I know it was not my relatives who said it, but this thread reminds me of a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Quote.

ARTHUR : It’s at times like this when I’m stuck in the airlock of a Vogon spaceship about to be blasted into space with a man from Beetleguise that I really wish I’d listened to what my Mother said.

FORD: Why? What did she say?

ARTHUR : I don’t know – I didn’t listen!
