What is your favorite old "saying"?
#183
When I did my training as a registered nurse, there was this "old" Zone-matron.
Sometimes we admiited old people whom you could clearly see was not properly taken care of.
And when this Matron did her rounds, she would always say:
"One mother can look after 10 children ... but 10 children can not look after one mother."

Oh dear..
a friend of the family used to always say,(whenever we whined for something) "Put your wishes in one hand and S*** in the other and see which one fills up first". Not really sure what that supposed to teach us.... It cracks me up now! I will sometimes say it to my kids now. They are 23 and 27 years old though and have heard those words before..
Sorry if I offended anyone!
