Only those that are "Over The Hill" will truly understand this. Unfortunately, there were no mysteries here as far as I was concerned. Shucks!!


THINGS YOU DON'T HEAR ANYMORE!



Be sure to refill the ice trays, we're going to have company.
Watch for the postman,
I want to get this letter to Willie in the mail today .
Quit slamming the screen door when you go out !
Be sure and pull the windows down when you leave,
It looks like a shower is coming up.



Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.
Wash your feet before you go to bed,
You've been playing outside all day barefooted.



Why can't you remember to roll up your britches 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 school clothes on!
Go comb your hair,
It looks like the rats have nested in it all night.
Be sure and pour the cream off the top of the milk
When you open the new bottle.
Take that empty bottle to the store with you
So you won't have to pay a 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 have 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 will need you to help push it off.



There's a dollar in my purse,
Get 5 gallons of gas when you go 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.
Don't sit too 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'll sew it back on after a 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 the sewing machine;
Pumping it messes up the thread!
Be sure and fill the lamps this morning
So we don't have to do that tonight in the dark.



Here, take this old magazine
To the toilet with you when you go,
We are almost out of paper out there.
Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water
So I can wash dishes.
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 10 cents for you to go to the show.
Do you think money grows on trees?
Eat those turnips,
They'll 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 don't stay in the house.

Sit still! I'm trying to get your hair cut straight
And you keep moving and it is all messed up.
Hush your mouth!
I don't want to hear words like that!
I'll wash your mouth out with soap!
It is time for you r system to be cleaned out.
I am going to give you a dose of castor oil tonight.
If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it,
You'll get another one when you get home.

Quit crossing your eyes!
They will get stuck that way!
Soak your foot in this pan of kerosene
So that bad cut won't get infected.
When you take your driving test,
Don't forget to signal each turn.
Left arm straight out the window for a left turn;
Left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn;
And straight down to the side of the door
When you are going to stop.



It's: 'Yes Ma'am!' and 'No Ma'am!' to me, young man,
And don't you forget it!
Y'all come back now, ya hear.

Bring back any memories?
 
Heck, I'm not quite 40 and alot of those ring true. Of course, we didn't have some of those modern conveniences like having milk brought to the door. We had to go squeeze it out of the dang cow :?

Anybody on here ever go to a school with outdoor plumbing and the teacher kept the school bell on her desk? I kinda think I may have been on of the last to experience that.
 
If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it,
You'll get another one when you get home.

OMG!!!!!!! That was me!!!!!!!! Hard to keep secrets like that from your parents, when your mom worked at the school.........many's the time......... :roll:

Thanks for the memories, OT...........like Silver, a lot of them struck a chord in my mind. Our school(s) did have indoor plumbing, but I do remember the bell sittin on the teacher's desk, and it was a real treat to get to go in early from recess and get the bell and ring it to call everyone else back in, too. And cleaning the erasers on the cement slab we played basketball on.......

Ya know, thinkin back on my school days, I realize that I was really hard up for entertainment! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Oh my, I'd forgotten so many of those OT! How kids would benefit these days with that parental instruction and attention.

I had a 1966 Ford Fairlane GT back then, sure would like to take that thing for a spin again.

I still have my '71 Cougar GT. Of course it's sitting in the grass wasting away, but someday I'll restore it and relive my misspent youth :D
