Mom's (or dad's) Infamous Sayings
I really don't recall my mom having any infamous sayings, but I have friends who do. Anyway, I am starting to come up with some to use on my own kids. The latest one is:
"We don't serve whine here."

ReplyDeleteThanks Mael, but could you please enlighten us? You know those online translators don't work well.

Sorry ... I did not check back ... bad blog etiquette.
ReplyDeleteThe "I want" grass does not even grow in the king's garden.
Driving home the point that it should be "I wish", not "I want".

Thanks Mael. I might try that one on my kids too :-)
ReplyDeleteMy whining one is "Do you want a little cheese to go with that whine?" Another favorite of mine is to say to my kids "And yet, you live!" when they are complaining about something, just to make the point that it hasn't killed them yet.
