Momma use to say,......

My mom would say, "Want that in one hand and poop in the other and see which one you get first." She normally told me this when I asked for something I wanted. LOL Except she would say the S word in place of poop.

I heard a lot of the others listed ... plus
"Close the door you weren't raised in a barn"
"Believe half of what you see and nothing that you hear" (what you hear isn't always told to you the right way or is necessarily the truth ... as in you can't believe gossip)
"Birds of a feather flock together" (you're judged by the company you keep)
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket"
"Anything worth doing is worth doing right the first time"

My mom's sayings:
"I'm gonna wrap this broomstick around your neck!" (When we were being bad...however, she was never the disciplinarian in our house! LOL)
"Wait till your father gets home!"
"She needs a great big 'letting alone'." (When we had fights with our friends.)
My dad's sayings:
"You've had your holiday."
"What you don't have in your head, you've gotta have in your feet." (If you aren't concentrating on what you are doing, you end up doing MORE to make up for your mistakes.)
"Nobody likes to sin alone."
"As long as you live in my house, you'll live by my rules."

My Grandma always said, "why put off till tomorrow, what you can get done today" and "you'll never regret getting a chore done early", although I told her once when I was little that wasnt' really true, cuz' once mom figured out I could do it, then I'd have to do it again, and then I'd regret it. I still remember her laughing about it.
