There are loads of mother sayings. Comical or not, they have all left their mark. Ok folks, remind us all of our mums, poor things, as they struggled along with us .

Have you changed your underwear in case you get run over?

In by 10 o'clock at the very latest at the weekend and 9 o'clock in the week--this when I was 16!!!

Nobody ever told me that! I used to read loads when I was a kid and now I'm short sighted. And I'm sure that's why

"Someone gave you a black eye... well, what did you say to them???"

"If you drink and smoke, you´ll end up to be your father."

"Why can´t you eat onion? It has no flavour." (I wondered back then why do they eat stuff with no flavour).

"Do you want to kill me, that hairdo is awful!"

"What am I cooking for dinner? The footprints of Santa Claus."

But we loved each other and still do.

Love, Kat

Dustys Mum...From Lucy O' Briens book:

"Ingratitude will show on your face'

"The best things you can do, are for other people"...

When hurling a trifle across the room...
"You'll get it quicker, this way"..

Oh lord, that's hilarious!

My Mum actually DID give me the advice to shop around (and I'm glad she did!!)

She also said two things that I disagree with:
"Whatever you do, do it with speed" (unfortunately this wasn't in reference to throwing trifle)
and,
"Mealtimes are for eating"

Oh... my....

those are both delightful... I can use my imagination...

My mother never told me to shave my legs, but I did, and I now have a premonition of generations to come if I have girls...

Why... why???
