Remember these?

[maynard]

 

[Basil]

"What till you Dad gets home"

 

[Bayless]

Yep, all pretty familiar.

 

[Bob McElwee]

Remember? I’ve used them!

 

[AngliaGT]

" I'm glad you weren't twins"

 

[pdplot]

1. "Go to your room in disgrace."
2. "Children should be seen and not heard".
Two of my mother's favorites.

 

[George_H]

And the popular " Don't make me pull this car over!!!"

 

[maynard]

If everyone else was doing ______ would you?

 

[PAUL161]

How many have heard, "Keep your ears open and your mouth shut", maybe you'll learn something that way!

 

[pdplot]

"EYES and ears open..."

 

[DrEntropy]

"I hope when you have kids, it's twins! And they are just like YOU!"

 

[Popeye]

“Think of the starving children in Africa!”

 

[JPSmit]

“Think of the starving children in Africa!”

Name one.

 

[pdplot]

Now you say that. But you didn't then.

 

[John Turney]

In our house they were in China.

 

[Bayless]

China is what I remember too. In fact I still use that phrase sometimes. Don't know why though.

 

[maynard]

Never could understand why a starving child in China would make me want to eat.

 

[Taleco]

“Think of the starving children in Africa!”

Think of the starving chidren in Europe. (1946)

 

[JPSmit]

All I can think of is this. (Not sure if you have watched the Cozy Mystery New Tricks but one of the best lines in the series is "I thought all Scottish food was based on a dare."

 

[NutmegCT]

The phrase I heard when I'd turn down turnips (blech ...): Think of the starving children in Armenia.

Got me and my brother to appreciate and feel lucky that we had food on our plate.
