    I thought it was apple seeds!

    Does anyone know anyone who had their eye poked out? I'm sure we all got told that A LOT when playing with erm, long, pointy & shapr objects!

    when i was in 5th grade, two of the boys in my class were at a friends playing, one of the boys pulled out a knife, and promplty poked the other boys eye out. it happens :)

    If any of us grandchildren misbehaved my grandma would say "If you keep acting up the police will come and take you away."

    I'm actually still a little bitter about this and I can't believe she still says this to the youngest in the group. When I was a kid I actually had a panic attack in preschool when I found out that a cop was coming to visit. I think it's horrible parenting to make your child afraid of someone who is there to help you. She's obviously never thought it through.
    Other than that she's the best grandma ever though :P

    I remember, "Step in a hole and break your mothers sugar bowl!" I used to get mad at mom and JUMP on or in every hole I could find. lol.

    Eat all your carrots ! Have you ever seen a bunny wear glasses ?

    Bury the grease in the backyard by the fence, never put it down the drain....It will clog

    In Winter, put a black sock and a Folgers can over your outside spigots to keep from freezing

    Pretty as, pretty does....

    Eat your greens, they put hair on your chest

    Applesauce and toast .....will never make you sick

    Don't make a mountain out of a molehill

    We are from the South, my granny said these things daily !

    "If you don't pick up your toys, Santa's elves are going to come in the middle of the night and take them back!"

    That always scared me into putting my toys back.

    My mother would ALWAYS say "It's better to have it, and not need it. Than to need it and not have it"
    I hated it so much, and then I started working for the YMCA and I was horrified to hear that saying come out of my mouth at my kids! lol

    My parents loved it when they saw cops. They always liked to tell me if I didn't act right I was going to jail. I had a fear of getting locked up until the age of 12. :laugh:

    LOL, I do this to my three kids!! I have an imaginary cop that I call and who supposedly watches them named OFFICER JOHNSON!!! Lord help me if they ever actually meet an officer Johnson!!:laugh:

    If out at a sporting event I didn't sing the national anthem and stand up I would be shot.
