Nostalgic???? Things your parents ALWAYS said

[wheystation]

Well - I knew things were bad when I heard this one -


I AM TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT

[hlcn8]

my retort to the comment "think of the kids starving in china" was always "if i eat this, they'll still be starving."

One thing my dad used to always sarcastically say if i opened the bag inside a box of cereal and it ripped, making it difficult to roll back up and keep fresh was "what, did a gorilla open this?"

"Didn't I tell you?...O then you don't need to know"

[Primal Instinct]

"For chrissakes, PEAL the fruit before you eat it!"

[xxxkazxxx]

My Dad always said **PUT SOMETHING ON YOUR FEET OR YOU'LL CATCH A COLD**.

How does a 45 year old man not know that cold's are caused by viruses? What did they teach people in the old days! Whats worse is that even though I KNOW colds are caused by viruses, I did a 360 & said it to my daughter not to long ago!

Incorrect, useless, nagging information. It's passed from generation to generation like a disease!

My parents didn't really say much stuff like that, but my old roommate was telling me about something his dad said to him.

He lived in Florida and his family was at an amusement park, I think he was like six or so. He was complaining about something and making a fuss and wouldn't stop even though his mother asked him to because he didn't think it was a big deal that he was whining. His father took him aside and said, "You know [insert name here], even the smallest speck of shit still stinks." :laughnew: He got the point and stopped whining.

The only one i ever got was
"thats just life you gota learn to deal with it"
I cant tell you how many thousands of times i heard that growing up.

[ROCKILLER]

My dad used to tell me, "do as I say, not as I do." Kinda odd but his big thing was always for us to grow up and be better off than he was.

if I ever wanted something that my parents thought was too expensive they would tell me "WANT in one hand shit in the other, see which one fills up faster."

That one still makes me laugh.

"If you want respect, you got to earn it"

"Poor planning our your end doesnt mean a crisis on mine"
I still use that one alot when i was running construction crews.
