What's the most "Mom" phrase you use (or have heard from your Mom) on your kids?
You can answer if you are a Dad too.
Recently, I have been saying "you're cutting off your nose to spite your face" a lot.
I've also been known to say, "Be nice to people while they're still here to be nice to," "Don't piss away your education . . . 99% of the kids in the world would love to have what you have."
I think it goes in one ear and out the other.
My Mom used to warn us of crowded places and shoplifters, "They'll knock you in the head for 50 cents!"

Hahahaha! I loved the bridges one! I forgot my mum saying that all the time.
She alsio used to say "Wait til you father gets home"
Mostly, he would come in, then laugh.
Rosa, I say that all the time too. There's a very good chance my children will smother me in my sleep one night.

Don't wish your childhood away, you'll regret it when you're an adult.
