mom - isms --- things your mom always said
***and how many times a day do you find yourself using one of these expressions?

Take a moment to read most of these. LOL! I could totally pick out my mom :)
And I am now aware of how many of these I actually say. ENJOY!!

A little "birdy" told me!

Am I talking to a brick wall?

As long as you live under my roof, you follow my rules!

Close the door! Were you raised in a barn?!

Do you think I'm made of money?

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

Are you digging for gold?!

Don't run in the house.

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

Don't talk with your mouth full!

Don't walk away when I'm talking to you!

Eat your vegetables, they're good for you.

Go play outside!

How do you know you don't like it if you haven't tasted it?

I brought you into this world, and I can take you right back out!

I can't believe you can sleep in this filth!

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!

Because I said so!

I hope someday you have children just like you.

If God had wanted you to have holes in your ears (eyebrows, tongue, etc.) He would have put them there!

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

If you don't do it NOW, then when are you going to do it?

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

I'm going to skin you alive!

I'm not going to ask you again.

I'm not your Maid!

I'm not your waitress!

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.

Look at me when I'm talking to you.

Money does NOT grow on trees.

Over my dead body!

Put that down! You don't know where it's been!

Say that again and I'll wash your mouth out with soap.

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

What did I say the FIRST time?

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

What part of NO don't you understand?

When I was your age, I had to walk ten miles through the snow, uphill, by myself, to go to school.

When you have your own house then you can make the rules!

Who died and left you boss?

You can't find it? Well, if you'd put things where they belonged, you wouldn't have this problem.

You don't always get what you want. It's a hard lesson, but you might as well learn it now.

You'll understand when you're older.

A little soap & water never killed anybody.

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

Are you going out dressed like that?

Are your legs broken? Get it yourself! I'm not your maid!

Do you live to annoy me?

Don't EVER let me catch you doing that again!

Don't make me come in there!

Don't stay up too late!

Go ask your father.

Go to your room and think about what you did!

How can you have nothing to wear? Your closet is FULL of clothes!

I don't buy snacks to feed the neighborhood!

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

I don't know is NOT an answer.

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

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

If you don't stop crying, I am going to give you something to cry about!

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

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

I've had it up to here with you.

Leave your sister (brother) alone!

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

Now, come back downstairs and go back up WITHOUT stomping your feet!

Now, say you're sorry...and MEAN it!

Running away? I'll help you pack.

What do you think, money grows on trees?

You can't judge a book by its cover.

You could have called.

You had better wipe that smile off your face before I smack it off you!

You should have that phone surgically implanted in your ear.

You WILL eat it, and you WILL like it!

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

Your father is going to hear about this when HE gets home!

You're the oldest. You should know better.

I have eyes on the back of my head.

Slow down you drive like a bat out hell!
