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

Watch for the postman, I want this letter in the mail today.

Quit slamming that screen door!

Be sure to pull the windows down when you leave, it looks like it might shower--and bring in the clothes on the line, too.

Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.

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!

Hang up your Sunday School clot hes, you know you need to pass them down to your brother in good condition.

Go comb your hair. Looks like rats nested in it all night.

Be sure to pour the cream off the top of the milk when you open the new bottle. I need it for baking and Pa's coffee.

Take that empty bottle to the store with you so you won't have to pay deposit on another one.

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

Quit jumping on the floor! I've a cake in the oven and you are going to make it fall if you don't quit.

Let me know when the Fuller Brush man comes by, I need to get a few things from him.

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

There's a dollar in my purse, go by the gas station and get five gallons of gas when you start to town.

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

You can walk to the store; it won't hurt you to get some exercise. Now maybe you'll learn to be more careful with your bicycle.

Don't sit to close to the TV, it is hard on your eyes.

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.

Get out from under that sewing machine, pumping it messes up the thread!

Do you want to go get me a switch?

Be sure to fill the lamps this morning so we don't have to do that tonight in the dark.

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

Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water for me to wash dishes in.

Don't turn the radio on now, I want the battery to be up when the Grand Ole Opry comes on.

No! I don't have six cents for you to go to the show, do you think money grows on trees?

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.

Sit still! I am trying to get your hair cut straight and you keep moving and it's gettin' nicked up.

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

It is time for your system to be cleaned out, I'm going to give you a dose of Castor Oil in the morning, and don't you say a word!

You get a spanking in school and I find out about it, you're gonna get another one when you get home.

Quit crossing your eyes! They will get stuck that way!

Soak your foot with this rag that's got coal oil on it, so your cut won't get infected.

When you take your driving test don't forget your hand signals at each turn. Left arm straight out the window for a left turn, left arm bent up to the sky at the elbow for a right turn and straight down to the side of the door when you are going to stop.

It is "Yes, sir!" and "No, sir" to me and your elders young man, and don't you forget it!

While we are at Aunt Mary's and Uncle John's, you kids eat when the adults get though and I don't want to hear "I don't like this stuff". AND you better keep your mouth shut when you chew and eat everything on your plate! Or I'll skin you when we get home! Do you hear that?
 
:D :D :D

Don't forget.

Can you please get up and change the channel on the TV?

Get some tin foil for the rabbit ears, reception is poor tonight.

Clean your plate! There are children starving in China who would love that food.

Wait till your Father gets home!

If Johnny jumped off a cliff, does that mean you would too?

Trust me, and come here, iodine doesn't hurt a bit. (ya right.. :roll: :roll: :roll: )
 
I think one that, even as a kid, didn't make much sense, but was not mentioned above was:

"If you fall and break your neck, you'll get a spanking!"
 
"Shut that door! We're not heating the outside!!"

"were you born in a barn?"

"Fingers were invented before forks" (my dad....go figure :roll: :lol: )

"Back when I was growing up, we walked 5 miles to school...in 5 feet of snow...uphill, bothways...in skirts and bobby socks"

"Good Lord....and my folks thought the music I listened to was raunchy!!"

"Uff-Da" (yep, the norwegian dad, again!! :lol: )
 
There's a dollar in my purse, go by the gas station and get five gallons of gas when you start to town.

And now it would be: There's five dollars in my purse, go by the gas station and get a gallon of gas when you start to town.

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

if i have to stop this car...

"don't make me stop this car...."

or

"Do I have to pull over and come back there???"

We heard all of the above........till mama started carryin a fly swatter in the front seat of the car. Man she had good hand/eye coordination...she could look in the rearview mirror....and reach back and smack someone(the one she was aimin at) and never turn her head to look back. Made all us kids WISH we had a station wagon so we could all git in the wayyyyyy back seat LOL outta reach.
 
LOL she probably could have, tho I don't ever think she owned a pair. Ever mornin her feet hit the floor she was dressed with shoes on out doin chores. I just don't think she ever had any. She raised 8 kids. Seven girls then a boy(which when he was born she didn't believe them that he was a boy....I can see why LOL)
IN all my summers spent with grandma. She only spanked me 1 time. I was maybe 7 or 8 years old, and asked if I could take bb gun out and shoot birds. She said, "sure just don't shoot the country birds, only the city birds" So off I went.....first bird I shot at, off the highline wire in front of the house...did a spiral to the ground. I was so proud!!! I grabbed it up to go show grandma. It had such pretty blue feathers. LOL (bluejay) Oh man when I got to her and showed her, she took the bird away from me and spanked my behind good!!!! Told me...that's a "country bird". So needless to say I NEVER asked to shoot her bb gun again.
She was one of those grandmas that, it didnt matter what you did at her house, it was all perdy much hunky dory ok fine with her, as long as it wasn't somethin that would hurt you.
