Do You Remember . . .
Do You Remember Your Dad Saying This
(or was it Mom or . . . both?)
Ask your mother.
Close that door!
Were you raised in a barn?
I let you win.
Because I said so. That's why!
Big boys don't cry.
We're not lost. I'm just not sure where we are
When I was your age,
It's only blood.
Don't you know any normal kids ?
Now you listen to ME, mister!
It will stunt your growth.
A little dirt never hurt anyone, just wipe it off
Enough is enough!
Don't make me stop the car!
Why didn't you go before we left the house ?
Get your elbows off the table!
Wipe your feet!
I told you, keep your eye on the ball.
Who said life was fair?
Sit up straight
Think you're smart, do you?
You call that a haircut?
Do you think t'm just talking to hear my own voice!
"Hey" is for horses.
This is going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.
Turn off those lights. Do you think we're made of money?
Don't give me any of your lip, young lady!
What are your intentions with my daughter?
You call that noise "music?"
Do what I say, not what I do. ,
What's so funny?
Wipe that smile off your face.
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
Am I talking to a brick wall?
You throw like a girl.
Young ladies do not sweat; they perspire.
I'm not sleeping, I was watching that
What keeps those jeans of yours from falling off?
Don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you see.
What do you think I am, a bank?
What part of NO don't you understand?
I don't care who is going !!
You're not leaving this house dressed like that!
If you're gonna be dumb, you've better be tough.
Didn't your teacher learn you anything?! -
You can marry a rich guy just as easily as you can a poor guy.
Hey, do you hear me talking to you?
You know you're always gonna be Daddy's little girl.
I'm not watching television. I'm resting my eyes.
Don't use that tone with me!
If I catch you doing that one more time, I'll...
Act your age.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
What did I just get finished telling you?
