If i said "Why" to my dad he used to say "because Y 's a kinky letter and you can't straighten it...or...because a Y's not a Z and it never will be....

OR "you'll be smiling on the other side of your face in a minute" ???????

My mother Use to say that all the time to me "I hope you have a daughter just like you."
Well, I got 3 boys and I must say they are a delight.
Plus, I never tried to run away but my sister did and my mom helped her pack and she ran away as far as the tree in the back yard. lol

Happier, that's funny

The first time I started walking down the highway and my father was out front weeding and tweeked that his child was walking down the road to her friends.

Next time I made it all the way up back to the farm that meets our property. Couldn't get past the electrical fence.

Oh well

Yes I also have a daugther just like me, my mother is amused.

Oh I have a good one.
My mom was the baby sister and had a big sister. I was the big sister and she would always say to my baby sister when she thought I was the mean one "That's ok, I know how mean big sisters are." I was so mad because my little sister would bully me all the time.
Just to give you an idea, I borrowed a book from my sister one night and I fell asleep reading it and she stole it from me in the middle of the night because she said I didn't deserve it because I fell asleep. I asked for it back and tried to grab the book and she cat clawed me with her nails. After my mom walked in and witnessed this she never said "I know how mean big sisters are" again. Whew, I was so sick of that phrase!

I grew up with a father who's response to anyone who said, " I can't." was... "Can't died in the poor house!"

My son yelled at me one time on the cell phone that he was going to leave home. He was 18 and so mean a nasty on the phone that day that I had all his clothes packed in black garbage bags and rolled down the stair case waiting by the front door by the time he got home. We are a little too much alike. I think he was shocked when he came in but had to save face. He left for about a month, I cried for a month. He eventually came back, tail between his legs. God! I hate even remembering that. He never yelled at me like that again. Bless his heart!:h

My dear grandmother kept me laughing right until the end. She was never unkind to her daughter-in-law (my mom) but would let me do things like drive the car long before I had a license (with her in the car, of course) and she'd warn me: "Don't tell your mother or she'll s**t green and turn purple."
