Home schooled

[BIGLRY]

Most of our generation of 50+ years was

"If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock
you into the middle of next week!"

" Because I said so, that's why."

5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC .

you're not going to the store with me."

"If I told you once, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!"

14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION .
"Stop acting like your father!"

15. My mother taught me about ENVY.
"There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't
have wonderful parents like you do."

16. My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION.
"Just wait until we get home."

17. My mother taught me about RECEIVING.
"You are going to get it from your father when you get home!"

18. My mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE.
"If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to get stuck that way."

19. My mother taught me ESP.
"Put your sweater on; don't you think I know when you are cold?"

23. My mother taught me about my ROOTS.
"Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?"

ones would not believe we truly were told these "EXACT" words by our parents…

It sounds "all so familiar"

[Johncmendenhall]

Wow, that's spot on.
And you were really lucky if you got to put a little bacon in your beans.

[jkelley]

Yup, over 50 and heard every one of those many times.

Unfortunately, if you said half of those things today to a kid they'd dial 911 on you.

I must have failed a grade in home school.
Those were taught, plus at least 24 more to get me up to speed.

[firetech]

WOW
Miss you mom and dad.
And thanks for a great upbringing.

Got a good one for you Big. When my Dad was having trouble getting through to me he would say , Son , if I have to , I'll stomp a mud hole in you and walk it dry. Course that always made me feel low as a snake in a wagon rut. Dad had a lot of sayings.
