    Was following the thread about how often do you call you parents and it got me thinking about some of the strange things parents say. Heres a few classics from mine when i lived at home!

    When calling me from down the hall calling out all my siblings names before getting to mine....
    Stop that crying or i'll give you something to cry about.:mad:
    You'll be laughing on the other side of your face (cue smart ass comment, followed by a slap):eek:
    Sit up straight (at the table) your not rowing a boat.
    Your not going out dressed like that where's the rest of it:(
    Call that music ,sound like rain falling in a bucket:D
    Give me 3 rings when you get there.
    Close them curtains you're letting all the heat out(eh we have double glazing)


    Ah happy memories:o

    There was loads more will think of them.

    Abused is a term we see bandied about all too easy these days - I prefer to tell them they've been liberated

    Mumsie Poo can't say onions correctly at all, she just says: "On-uns"

    My Dad once screamed "What did I do to deserve such stupid kids?!".

    Didn't really mean it, he was just stressed.

    Don't look back on it sadly or angrily, my brother said something straight after that diffused my Dad's rage and even he started laughing.
