WhooHoo

My Ma once asked me when I was about 5yrs
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO PICK UP YOUR WET TOWEL??!!
I looked up at her and I truly wasn't sure.
I said, a bit perplexed cuz I HAD to give her an answer, " I don't know...A hundred???"
I bet she was on the phone all day laughing about it to her friends.

One of my favorites is what Tony Campolo calls a "parental stupidism" in relation to a parent warning the child about the perils of climbing trees without supervision, I quote,

"If you fall down out of that tree and break your legs, don't come runnin to me"!!!!!!

This morning I told my 6 year old to stop being a smart mouth. He got a big grin and said "you think I am smart Mommy?"

(no longer mad but laughing).

my mother is a lunatic.

"do you want a good smack" - who ever says yes to that? and what is the difference between a good smack and a bad smack?

While smacking me "have you had enough, do youi want some more" Sure mum, beat me more, and make it a good one.

"I'll wipe that smile of your face" - you'd be forgiven for thinking she was going to wash my face.

My personal favorite, "Do I have to come down there?!"
Mom would wail on me till I cried trying to hit my ass with whatever she had handy and me deeking her so she couldn't connect, then when I would cry, "Shut up or I'll give you something to cry about".
I too have dutch fossils, you Americans and Canadians wailing about the wooden spoon, ever seen the size of a rug beater, I have, lol. I learned to run quickly as a child. Hee hee. Spent as much time as possible outside catching snakes. Both fossils where afraid of them. Ha ha, didn't always get hit for no reason, lol.
