What weird and wonderful things can you remember your parents saying to you as a child , 1 of my Mums favourites if we were being just a little bit out of line was "Im going to take down your name and skelp your address if you dont stop" , we always stopped mainly as to begin with didnt have a clue what she was on about then when we did it just made us laugh

"another good 1 was " do you want a smack" errr yes please mum lol"

my brother regularly used to say "yes please" and turn round and stick his bum out! it worked though, cos my strict mum couldn't keep a straight face at that and the giggles ruined the mood and got him off whatever his punishment would have been...

"me mam "Yer not just a cabbage face." praise indeed."

i remember my friends little sister having a cabbage patch doll which bore a striking resemblance to me : brown hair (yes, i had it then), blue eyes and chubby cheeks

when we were babysitting one night, we had her in a state of some despair by telling her that i was its dad.

poor kid was mortified, and my mate didn't get his babysitting money off his mum cos when she came home, his sister was still crying

oops !

My mum didn't ever need to say anything when my brother or I were playing up, she just had this look, we then knew to behave or else.

My dad's favourites were

Whenever you said 'What' he would reply 'Pardon is the word'

'I'll give you something to moan about in a minute'
