i always think its funny when parents would tell their kids anything that starts with "we dont" (we dont hit people, we dont run in the store, etc)instead of "we shouldnt" or something similar
always think.. well obviously the kid does lol

2) same difference

Which basically translates to: same difference.
Which is to say, it`s all the same.

A very wise man once told me to never say or threaten anything to child that you did not indend to do because if you then do not carry through the child wins the round.
Boy oh Boy I quit asking THAT question.

My husband is from South Texas. My family's favorite saying of his is "(I'll do whatever) even if it harelips everyone down on Bear Creek!"
I have no idea what that means or where he picked it up.
My personal favorite, is frequently heard in the upper midwest. I'm from Connecticut and it just confuses me. When you ask someone if they have anything, and they respond in a very cheerful voice: "We sure don't."
