Heard lots of the above posted, but here are a few I haven't seen yet.

"Go ahead and cry, you'll pee less."

and

"Would you like to repeat that to old lady thumb and her four daughters?"

The last one meaning if you said that again, you were going to get spanked (and hard, because if you said it again you were being defiant-and stupid, since you were warned!).

"Tie your shoes, you'll trip and fall and break your neck"

This one actually had family origins. My great grandfather had a habit of getting out of bed in the morning and putting his pants on, slipping on his work boots and going downstairs to get his coffee. At the ripe old age of 83 he got up one morning headed downstairs to the kitchen, tripped on his laces and fell down the stairs, broke his neck and died.

Also one from my Dad that I use on my son regularly= "There is nothing you can do after midnight that you can't do before midnight except get in trouble."

Stop pulling faces the wind might change.

When telling my mother "you never give us anything" Her response was, "I gave you life!"

"your father" this or "your father" that. Any time my mom talked about my dad. My parents were divorced, and my mom was pretty bitter.

"Don't slam the door!"
"Someday, I hope you have a child just like you" I did, two! I think they are pretty awesome, btw

things I say to my children.........

Watch where you're going, not where you've been.......son was chronically bad at not watching where he was going

Eyes are for looking, not for touching........when told not to touch something and they say "i was just looking at it"

Being helpful is doing what needs to be done, not what you want to do.....again the boy when he'd offer to "help" but then not want to do the chores.

I have two dish washers, why do I need to buy one........yup, when they'd whine about doing the dishes

Would you like me to give you something to cry about....when they'd whine - about anything.

Poison....when asked "what's that?" while cooking dinner

Because I said so....when asked why???????

if it was up you're rear you'd know it.......when asked "mommy, where's my (insert item)?"

Well I want a million dollars, so I guess neither of us is getting what we want..........

You have two choices, you can take a nap. Or I can spank you and then you can take a nap.

And the piece de resistance........one day while in church my dd complained about having to kneel during mass. And I said to her, "If Jesus can hang on a cross for you, you can kneel during mass for him."

Yes, yes I did. And you know who said that to me....yup my mother! LOL! It was out of my mouth before I could stop myself. It's a wonder my children even speak to me. Dang I am mean!!!
