I never got the "watch out" after doing something clumsy. I always wanted to answer, "duh."
"Because I said so" -- just tell me why. I'm reasonable and if I understand, then I'm happy to comply.

"Because I said so" always drove me crazy. "That's not a reason, Mom!" "It's a good enough reason for you."

"You're not in love, you don't know what love is"...came at a time when my parents refused to let me vist my then long distance boyfriend of two years. My parents were having marrage problems and screeming at each other on a daily basis. i thought they were the ones who didn't know what love was.

"Just who in the hell do you think you are?" Always said to me when I was doing something that I should have gotten permission to do and didn't. I always wanted to reply with "well if YOU don't know who in the hell I am, THAT is where the real problem is!" or "I'm your evil offspring that's who"
But I liked my face and wanted to keep it looking the same so I kept my mouth shut. ![]()

I can't say anything my mother said was stupid as that would be a disgrace to the respect I have for her. But doggone it .. I can't cheat at dusting as I always hear her lil voice in my head saying, " Don't dust around things, pick things up and dust under them or it leaves a dust ring around the object." Grrr ..

"Don't sleep in"
Is it such a cardinal sin to sleep in once in a while? I mean, is my bed going to set on fire at 11 am if I don't wake up from it and kill me? I really fail to see the purpose of that.

"You make your bed, you lie in it."
"Wait 'til your father gets home." "Oh my God, are you sick?" (after being brought home by two guys holding me up, then a labored crawl up the stairs to lose it all in the toilet)

"You're so full of shit, your eyes are brown." Ugh, I hated that one.
"Don't assume things. It makes an ass out of "u" and me." Clever Ma. The funniest ones came from my Grandma though: "Don't wear socks with holes in them. All the other kids will say 'That Lorraine must be poor. She lets her grandson dress like a bum.'" To which I would reply, "One: The other kids can't see my socks. I wear shoes ($150 Docs to be specific, which breaks the whole poor bit.) Two: The other kids don't know who you are." "Don't eat butter or chocolate. You'll get zits." "Eat your garlic. It keeps the vampires away." She was quite serious. I'm not even going to go into the many things she's advised me about various other races of people. She's completely oblivious to just how racist she is. And most recently, after meeting a friend of mine: "Was that girl I met your girlfriend?" "No, she's a lesbian." "Why would she want to do that? Men should be with women, and women should be with men." My grandmother's a lesbian. She's shared a bed with the same woman for over ten years. This made me laugh.

now my grandmom was more secure and supportive than my mom in a lot of ways ....not sure how her daughter turned out less so. My favorite thing my grandmom always used to say was "you see how old and experienced I am, so feel good that you're one of the smartest nicest boys I've ever known"

Stupidest thing my Mother ever said was probably "Let's adopt another one", second stupidest was probably, "This isn't working. Let's adopt." Glad she said that, mind you, but bad call on her part.
