Wow, seems I have heard a lot of them from my own mother when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteMy mother was fond of the last one, and it's true. You have to raise a child of your own to understand your own parents.
ReplyDeleteYeah, heard most of em myself. lol
ReplyDeleteMy mom used a lot of those... I especially remember "irony"... that'd make me shut up in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteYeah, got that from mine, then used it on mine too., lol
DeleteHAHA Yep I heard these and I used some of them on my kids
ReplyDeletelol, we just pass em on.
DeleteI think I heard all but maybe two of those. And, I taught them to mine who are teaching them to their kids.
ReplyDeleteI think its amazing that they ALL used these... lololol
DeleteLol, they all sound familiar...jajajajaja. But none like #25 which BTW is one of the reasons I decided NOT to have children.
ReplyDeleteGosh MsB, you didnt let your mom get even.. hahahaha
