WWMS?
What would Momma say?I just ran across a fun post at Rocks in my Dryer (http://rocksinmydryer.typepad.com/) all about the parental catch phrase. My life is so replete with these mommisms that I thought it deserved its own post instead of just commenting on theirs, and I'd love to hear what the rest of you remember our Momma (and dad, I guess) saying to us.
Mommisms:
Listen to what I mean, not what I say!
In response to whining about aches and pains: Ohhh, poor baby! Shall we cut it off?
Oh, cussword!
Patience, Prudence.
In response to requests for transportation: You got legs.
In response to an I love you: I love me too. (one of my absolute faves.)
And I do remember once, when I was very small, getting the dadism: don't cry or I'll give you something to cry about! And I believe that led to getting something worth crying about, namely a spanking.
What do you remember your parents saying that you plan on using or already do use with your children?

Mom:
"The only reason I had you was to lift heavy boxes and reach the top shelf."
I love you, go feed the dogs.
Happy birthday! Now go do the dishes.
dadism: be good be happy
and: Well *I* remembered your birthday. I told people about it at school all day.
Momma: "Spider, spider on the wall. Ain't you got no sense at all? Don't you know that wall's been plastered? Get off that wall you dirty spider."
and: Sorry about forgetting your birthday. Can't remember everything you know.
oh: happy birthday, ugh. happy birthday, ugh. There is sadness in the air, people dying everywhere, but happy birthday, ugh.
How bout Mom's standard
"close your eyes, I'm coming in"
when she barges into the bathroom while someone else is taking a shower.
