How about: What goes around comes around
Just because "so and so" jumps over the High Bridge (St. Paul) doesn't mean you do too. (If you jump over the High Bridge 9 chances out of 10, it'll be your last jump anyplace)
Chew and Swallow, Chew and Swallow
You want something to cry about? I'll give you something to cry about! (I used that one on our son)
I love you forever (to my son) Edie

One more I used to laugh at. "She is so bucked tooth that she could eat corn on the cob through a barbed wire fence. Bless her." My southern family always said , "Bless her." Like it would make their comment nicer. :)

Well my Mom used to say "Don't lay with your feet in it" which meant don't be a pig or don't take more than your fair share.

For example - on the rare occasion that we had soda pop in the fridge when we were little, my youngest sister would keep going back and drinking it until it was all gone, leaving none/little for the rest of us. This is when Mom would tell her "Don't lay with your feet in it."

I know it sounds funny, but my sisters & I still use it on each other and our kids.

I heard that saying all my life from my granny! Yes, she uses the "S-word" too. She usually meant it as you have to go after what you want, you can't just wish for it.

My husband shares this saying from his mother:

It's too far from your heart to kill ya'. Said whenever he got bumps and bruieses and was looking for some sympothy.

my Grandfather said that too!

These I remembered today:

"Don't stand in front of the TV ... your mom and dad weren't glass makers!"

When someone talks to much or says too much ...
"Rattle Rattle, here come the cattle"

(I have no clue about that second one ... just something folks said sometimes)

mom would say "wait till your dad gets home." or " I should have drowned all of you but the spotted ones".(We all had freckles, lots of them).

Dad was very practical. He would say "There's no such thing as a free Lunch" or " if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't"

my uncle was worse, he used to say "he/she fell out of the ugly tree, and they burned it down on him/her"

my mom used to say "i started with twins but i drown one, keep it up..." i guess i was about 16 when i was feeling brave & told her she drown the wrong one. she could still catch me & did!

i told all the kids at one time or another the same as mom told me... "i hope when you have kids they're just like you! " except my middle son, he out of he 5 was the reason for every wrinkle and grey hair i ever got... i used to tell him i hoped he had 10 kids just like him & had to live with all 10 @ once!
