When I was young I thought my Mom's old saying "Beauty is skin deep, but ugly holds it own" was so funny. Then I went to a reunion and guess what? She was right.

I’ve only read to page 5 so these could be duplicates. Have got to read the rest! :)
From my Dad: You’re bored? Go clean your room! Or he'd find another chore for me to do.
From my Grandmother: If you’re ears are ringing say the names of out loud or to yourself of the people you know. When it stops the last name you said is someone who was talking or thinking about you.
From my Grandfather: If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything. He always added that there is something nice that you can find to say.

Here a few of my grandma's favorites- "Can't" lives in a mud-hole. If first you don't succeed, try try again. He/she would complain if hung with a gold rope! Haste makes waste. If you can't say something nice - say nothing at all. Thanks for sharing I have enjoyed them all and recognized many.

Don't judge them till you've walked in their shoes!
Buck up!
Don't bite off more than you can chew!
You'll turn into a pumpkin at midnight!
Stupid is as stupid does!
You're such a PITA!(pain in the ass)
What goes around, comes around!
You'll get your turn!
