    Oddball things your parents said to get your attention

    I have a few...


    "I will have your head in my hands and your brains to play with!"


    "Go and play on 115th Avenue!"


    "You make a better door than a window!"


    "Don't look in the mirror the devil will show up."


    "If you put your face that way and a wind blows by it will stay that way."

    FISH-O

    When my grandmother threatened to get the switch out, I listened.

    my mom beat our butts with the back of a wooden hair brush ! that left bruises and welts .

    If you don't eat it now you're getting it for breakfast.

    FISH-O

    Yes, old wrinkly peas don't taste good for breakfast especially with porridge.

    mom said: "ok you don't want me to tell your father."

    FISH-O

    I definitely heard that one.

    Besides calling me by my full name? She'd say "Eat it before I chew it for you!"!

    FISH-O

    I have never heard that before. ... Good one!

    Let's go to Harry's Toy Store...


    (Harry was the cousin of David Bagdasarian, creator of "The Chipmunks"  - Alvin, Simon, and Theodore.  Harry would call my dad when some new Barbie stuff came into the store, known as "Selma's Happiest Corner")

    What a great childhood !!
    Bob/PKB

    Much better looking back on it.
    FISH-O

    That is cute. I hope. :). I don't know who Selma is.
    Bob/PKB

    Selma is my home town. It had about 5000 population when I was a kid. We lived 3 miles west of town.
    FISH-O

    Aahhh.... That makes oodles of sense now.

    When we were naughty,Mum saying i will give you a thick ear if you do not stop doing that,,

    hector5559

    Dad would say I'll box your ears If you don't start behaving although he never did . I gotta glass of cold water that will wake your a$$ up. That he did....

    ROMOS

    JDB

    She listens pretty good. my bark will still straighten her up. I'm waiting for that to come to an end.
    ROMOS

    HA! My first thought when I saw this question was, I'll box your ear off.
    JDB

    Nope not kidding Roy
    ROMOS

    No boxing ears or cold water for your girl Dave.
    If you had a boy?
    JDB

    Cold water maybe but she's usually our alarm anyway. I've came close to giving her a SWAT on the butt. But like I said the bark still makes her jump, for now
    FISH-O

    I heard that one as well. Thank goodness it didn't happen because it can leave you deaf.

    I am not sure about the glass of cold water but I am sure it is fairly close to the buckle end of the belt.
    JDB

    No Fish-o its not the end of a buckle, he would come up stairs with a big glass of cold water and dump it on us.
    FISH-O

    You are right, not close at all. The buckle end of the belt really hurt however, having wet pyjamas and bed would be massively uncomfortable.
