When you make your bed you have to lie in it. In other words, this is your mess, take care of it yourself.

My mom always said 'once a task has begun, never leave it til it's done...be the labor great or small....do it well or not at all'.

My daughter will remember me always telling her what goes around comes around.

I always told my daughter "Just because you can get it on, does NOT mean you should wear it". I hate the tight clothes on all of the chubby girls. How did love handles become attractive? UGH!!! I have them, but I do not stuff myself into a sausage casing to head to the mall.

"If you hoot with the owls at night, you cannot soar with the eagles by day" - from my dad. From my mom - "eat your peas, there are children starving all over the world". (so how will it help them if I eat my peas? - I once asked her that and got a smack in the head for being fresh!)

My dad used to say When I hurt myself or had a headache etc--Do you want me to hit your big toe with a hammer so your head won't hurt? (so helpful! LOL!)
Or he would say I feel for you but I can't quite reach you!

What is really funny is to say these things to my grands especially Rachel(8) and have her say my mom says that all the time!! LOL It does go down the generations! LOL

My mother's quote was, "My mama always said, them that hear can feel". I just start with My Mama always said, and my boys in their 40's finish the saying. (If you can't listen to good advice, you can learn the hard way)

At the moment some of the funny things my grandma used to say has escaped me except for one: she'd say "I'll be done in two shakes of a lambs tail" I told my now 17 yr old grandson that one day when he was little and he just thought that was the funniest thing he ever heard. And yes, I can relate to the things dad said that cannot be repeated here.
Grandma was Pennsylvania Dutch and she would always say "the bread is all" and of course we would come back with "all what?" She would mean that it was all gone. She would get so mad at us for making fun of her. Oh how I miss her.

My Dad fished for a living. He got up before dawn so as to get an early start. Sometimes, on Friday night, my brothers would say that they'd get up and go with him but they were usually too tired the next morning. My Dad would say:"The night's story never agrees with the morning's"

Whenever we left an outside door open and the cold would rush in, my Mom would say: "Were you born on a raft?" Or "Are you trying to warm up the outdoors?"

I think the response that NOW is:

Why buy a pig if all one wants is a little sausage?
