SPRING - I am anxious for your arrival.....

It often takes a while for Spring to arrive in Central NY, BUT when it arrives, it is beautiful and I can't wait to get outdoors.

That's when my childhood memories come back and I remember my Mom screaming:

"If you fall out of that tree I will NOT call an ambulance"

and then the punishments:

"I am doing this for your own good"

and there was this one:

"Don't go out of the house with wet hair or you'll catch a cold."

Do you remember your mom's MOMILIES?

And how many time have you said them to your children?

I am sure my girls will have a few to remember, but these are some famous ones that I am sure we all heard back in the day!

• “You’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’!
• “Use the bathroom whether you need to or not!”
• “This is going to hurt me a lot more than it’s going to hurt you!”
• “Close the door, we’re not trying to heat the neighborhood.”
• “I hope you grow up and have a kid that does to you what you did to me.”
• “So if your best friend said ‘I’m going to drive off a cliff,’ you’re going to drive off a cliff?”
• “Be sure to have clean underwear on because you never know when you’re going to be in an accident.”
• ”If somebody else's mother let him jump off the Empire State Building, would you want me to let you do it, too?
• When you fall, get back up.
• Nothing worthwhile happens after midnight.
• Everybody else may be doing it, but you're not going to.
• If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything.
• If a thing is worth doing, it's worth doing well.
• Don't take rides or candy from strangers
• Girls, why would a farmer buy a cow when he can get the milk for free?
• Say, "I'm sorry."
• "Wish on your eyelash and blow it away."
• Cheaters never win and winners never cheat.
• Silence is golden.
• Put a dime in your shoe
• A lady doesn't keep people waiting
• "The more you scratch it, the more it's going to itch."
• "Lift up your legs when you go over a railroad track and make a wish."
• "Wash behind your ears or you'll have a potato field growing back there."
• "Put some color in your cheeks."

What is the one you remember the most?
