A trip down memory lane, we were often warned to "Close the door!" :

Never did find out what "they" were.

If you don't stop biting your nails, the skin will grow over the ends of your fingers, and you will have to go to hospital and have the skin cut off. Caught me just at the right age when I believed everything mum said. Instant cure

My great aunts favourite scare tactic was "don't you go up those stairs or ill call the Axe man on you!"

Never ever went up her stairs......

I suspect it was partly down to the fact that I was just at that age where I believed everything she said

If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to really cry about...

Worked every time as I knew a slap was coming if I carried on..

Also, The more you go on the more I will say no...

I'm think I'm still scarred with this, as soon as someone says no to me I'm like ok no worries, either that or was it a good life lesson that I can't always get what I want.....

I tell mine that when they lie they're tongue turns green, it's great when they both blame each other for something because I know the guilty one is the one who won't show me their tongue

And I use 'stop picking your nose your brains will fall out'

'if the wind changes your face will stay like that'

'if you keep playing with your willy it'll fall off '

And I threaten to put in their mouth if they say bad words

My dad could control us from across a crowded room with just a look. He never smacked us so it wasn't fear but he did ground us and take away privileges etc if we were naughty. He followed through on what he said he would do. Not a lot of parents do that these days.

I think a lot do. It just proves you don't need lies or physical aggression to keep kids on track.

My parents used to ring the "truth fairy" when we were young... we all knew the truth fairy would expose our lies! And scared us all into telling the truth! Well... until the day we heard the wrong number tone and they admitted it wasnt real!!

"If you don't stop picking your nose, your brains will drop out "

I used to say this to a little girl who lived next door.

Her Mum came ujp to me and said she was having tea with the vicar when the little girl came up with a huge bogie on the end of her finger and said "Mummy, mummy, look my brain is coming out in big bits now". Cue vicar spurting tea all over himself and she looking so embarrassed
