Mothers are great. They make the world a better place. My mom is my hero. Where would we be without Momma?
But, I wonder — is there a handbook of sayings all mothers must use?
Did your mother say any of these?
“Whatever floats your boat”
“If I had a dollar for every time”
“I’m always a day late and a dollar short”
“You’re cruising for a bruising”
Followed closely behind by…
“And if you don’t quit it you’re gonna get it”
“Use your head for more than a hat rack”
“These socks won’t pick up themselves.”
“If you keep looking like that your face is gonna freeze.”
“Cut it out before someone gets hurt.”
“When I was growing up…”
“Starving children in Africa…”
“Get outside and play”
“A little “birdy” told me!”
“Am I talking to a brick wall?”
“You’d lose your head if it wasn’t attached to your shoulders.”
“I don’t care who started it, I said stop!”
“If you don’t stop crying, I am going to give you something to cry about!”
“If it were a snake, it would have bitten you.”
“You will eat it, and you WILL like it!”
“You can’t find it? Well, where did you leave it last?”
“I’m not made of money”
“Don’t give me that attitude.”
“Put that back where you found it.”
“…talk until I’m blue in the face….”
“You’re running around like a chicken with your head cut off.”
Bonus: “Do you know how much I love you?”
