You make your bed, you lie in it. When leaving home at age 18 for a career. Still don't understand completely. Little girls should be seen and not heard. (My dads favourite - he had four girls). Going to see a man about a dog. - When my dad was going out and we wanted to know where to. Never did see a dog. When my ship comes home - when asking for pocket money. Still waiting for ship.

Always wear clean knickers incase you get runover.....I would imagine the first thing you would do if hit by anything would be ... mess your knickers ? Can you imagine being wheeled into casuality after being run over and the Doctor saying ooohhh her knickers are'nt very clean... Doh !

A cracker my mum used to say was "Don't cut your toe nails on a Sunday, you'll make the Virgin Mary cry" Eh? Don't know where that one came from! Another was "Anymore cheek and you'll get your head in your hands and your lugs to play with! My dad used to say if we asked for money "Do you think I'm Andrew Carnagie?" and "We're all Jock Tamson's bairns" Thing is I catch myself saying all these things to my own kids (not about the toenails) lol

Waste not want not pick it up and eat it. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. I'll take my hand off your face if you don't behave. (never got that one, mind you it was the putting on a high speed that really did it)

Me and my hubby have been having a right good giggle at these! Here's some more I'll make you smile on the other side of your face. When asking Dad where he was going - There and back again to see how far it is. What do you think you're on? Your fathers yacht? When I said that Dad didn't have a yacht, I was made to smile on the other side of my face! lol Jeanette
