promise5 17 #1 December 20, 2017 I don’t know why but my mom use to say: If you keep that up, you can just come here so I can swat you! I never understood why I would want to do that. We just waited till she couldn’t see us do it again. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #4 December 21, 2017 One time my mom told me to get to the bathroom so she could wash my mouth out with a bar of soap. She only had to say it once.

BillyVance 34 #7 December 21, 2017 oldwomanc6 "Don't make me come back there!" We heard this a lot in the car. She was always threatening to crawl over the seat and break us up, but I don't ever remember her ever doing so. I had a few times when my two girls fought or screamed at each other in the back seat (yes, I'm fucking deaf and I could still hear those little fuckers). I pulled over and looked at them both and said "if you keep this up, I'm strapping you both to the roof of the car!" They shut the hell up.

akarunway 1 #9 December 21, 2017 What they said. Why is your door locked? You playing w/yourself in there? And " Just wait til your father gets home" The Col. I always answered " THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT" I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

wmw999 2,311 #15 December 22, 2017 I'll rip your arm out and beat you to death with the bloody stump! (an image which confused me). Interesting how the most colorful things are the ones that are generally more, ahem, violent. She was also the only person I heard use the terms "pumpkin pie" and "precious pudding" as endearments; that's not as funny, but a whole lot more true to the overall relationship.

Glitch 0 #16 December 22, 2017 My Aunt: "One more word out your mouth and I'll rip your lips off!" I mistakenly called her bluff... once. When she was done, my lip looked like it got zapped by a bumblebee and I had a new found respect for short little Irish women. Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born...
