I don't want to eat my greens- they taste like poo!

Parental tellings off....

Weren't they the most archaic nonsense you've ever heard?

I can recall being told to "eat my greens", "wipe that smile off yer face" and "walk nicely".

What was the most leftfield, wacky or out-and-out bizarre instruction/remonstration you received from your parent(s)?

Mum: "Go to your bedroom and play nicely, cos if I see you making a mess there'll be trouble!"

Me: "How will you know if I'm playing nicely?"

Mum: "Because I can see through walls."

Me: "Drat.":p

•At the dinner table "All joints on the table will be carved" - said in a deep booming voice.
•Wrt playing outside "don't come running to me if.... happens" - I'm pretty sure my Mum said "Don't come running to me if you break your leg" but that could be my reality/dream confusion again.
•"If the wind changes, your face will stay like that" - That freaked me out for years!
