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?
