swedishcelt 0 #1 April 21, 2006 I found myself telling a guy to watch it cause his 'modesty' was starting to show. Do you ever find yourself saying weird things your parents used to say and getting really embarrassed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegreekone 0 #3 April 21, 2006 my mother says "spitting nickels" instead of "pissed". when I said that, it was a humbling moment. she does have some funnies. when we would sit or lie down funny she would say, "whattaya doing, posing for animal crackers"?. and they ask us why we drink.

namdrib 0 #4 April 21, 2006 Mom: "Say Shit" Me: "No" Mom: "SAY SHIT" Me: "No Way" Mom: Say It" Me: "Shit" ***SLAP*** Mom: "Don't ever swear in front of your mother"! Never really recovered from that trivial little moment in my life. Scared me for a long time. Now I make it a point to cuss at her cause she is 900 miles away. Unknowing attempting to take out all 4 wheeled vehicles remotely close to the landing area! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #5 April 21, 2006 I have. I can't think of an example right now, but I know I have. However, I can't wait to have kids so I can use this one on them: Me: "Mom, will you make me a waffle?" Mom: "Poof, you're a waffle." It used to piss me off, but now I think it's hysterical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #6 April 21, 2006 Every time we'd be horsing around in the house, my mom would yell out, "somebody's going to get hurt!". Of course a few seconds later, somebody always DID get hurt. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #7 April 21, 2006 I believe my potential for smart ass remarks and lack of patience for questions about the obvious come from my mum. I once asked if the mac-n-cheese she was making was for dinner. She said no, its for the dog. I cried ( I was 4) Hottie comes in the kitchen, pans on stove, water boiling, Im chopping some onion. "What 'cha doing?" My reply: The laundry.

karenmeal 0 #12 April 21, 2006 "Patience is a virtue. Possess it if you can." That one always pissed me off.

lawrocket 3 #18 April 21, 2006 I think my favorite quote from my mom was when I was learning to drive. We (aka "she") was running late for an appointment with my neurologist, and thus she was doing 80 on the 405. (Back then, the speed limit was 55 for you younguns out there - no, not you, swedishcelt). My mother yelled at me, "IF I EVER CATCH YOU DRIVING LIKE THIS SO HELP ME GOD I WILL KILL YOU SLOWLY." I love my mom. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried digging a hole to China with a teaspoon once. Then I saw some construction where there was a huge hole dug. I gave up after that...What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #20 April 21, 2006 Quote"There are starving children in China who would love to eat your dinner." Ha! My mom said there were starving children to me once, too. I said, "Name two."
