Be sure to refill the ice trays, we're going to have company.


Watch for the postman, I want to get this letter to Willie in the mail today..


Quit slamming the screen door when you go out!
Be sure and pull the windows down when you leave, it looks like a shower is coming up.

Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.
Wash your feet before you go to bed, you've been playing outside all day barefooted

Why can't you remember to roll up your britches legs?
Getting them caught in the bicycle chain so many times is tearing them up.


You have torn the knees out of that pair of pants so many times there is nothing left to put a patch on.

Don't you go outside with your school clothes on!


Go comb your hair; it looks like the rats have nested in it all night.


Be sure and pour the cream off the top of the milk when you open the new bottle.


Take that empty bottle to the store with you so you won't have to pay a deposit on another one.

Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won't get on it.


Quit jumping on the floor! I have a cake in the oven and you are going to make it fall
if you don't quit!

Let me know when the Fuller Brush man comes by, I need to get a
few things from him.


You boys stay close by, the car may not start and I will need you to help push it off.


There's a dollar in my purse, get 5 gallons of gas when you go to town.


Open the back door and see if we can get a breeze through here, it is getting hot.

You can walk to the store; it won't hurt you to get some exercise.


Don't sit too close to the TV. It is hard on your eyes

If you pull that stunt again, I am going to wear you out!


Don't lose that button; I'll sew it back on after awhile.

Wash under your neck before you come to the table, you have beads
of dirt and sweat all under there.

Here, take this old magazine to the toilet with you when you go, we are almost out of paper out there.


Get out from under the sewing machine; pumping it messes up the thread!


Be sure and fill the lamps this morning so we don't have to do that tonight in the dark.

Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water so I can wash dishes.


Don't turn the radio on now, I want the battery to be up when the Grand Ole Opry comes on


No! I don't have 10 cents for you to go to the show. Do you think money grows on trees?

Eat those turnips, they'll make you big and strong like your daddy.


That dog is NOT coming in this house! I don't care how cold it is out there, dogs don't stay in the house


Sit still! I'm trying to get your hair cut straight and you keep moving and it is all messed up.



Hush your mouth!

I don't want to hear words like that!

I'll wash your mouth out with soap!

I t is time for your system to be cleaned out.
I am going to give you a dose of castor oil tonight.

If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it, you'll get another one when you get home
Quit crossing your eyes! They will get stuck that way!


Soak your foot in this pan of kerosene so that bad cut won't get infected.


When you take your driving test, don't forget to signal each turn. Left arm straight out the window for a left turn;
left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn; and straight down to the side of the door when you are going to stop.

It's: 'Yes Ma'am!' and 'No Ma'am!' to me, young man,
and don't you forget it!

About 75% of that list applied to me way back when, fortunately we had running water. But when my parents lived in Alaska (late '40,s & '50's) the water main froze on all of the streets running north and south, and my mom had to climb over the snowpile to get jugs of water from the neighbor. And the bed post frequently froze to the outside wall of the bedrooms, because it got so cold! I am lucky indeed.

How about the bells of an ice cream truck you can only hear about a block away,instead of the annoying loudspeaker with music you can hear a mile away.

My Mom saying"you want me to get the hot wheels track on your butt again"!

A friend asking if you've found any cash value bottle caps lately.

Mom saying "don't throw away those S & H green stamps".

Dad saying "here's $2.00,take your wagon and go get 4 gallons of milk,and I want my change".

Dad saying,"can you believe ethyl is up to .43 cents a gallon"!

Mom saying "don't throw away those S & H green stamps".

I have a cache of these sitting in the cupboard, have no idea what to do with them.

A couple come to mind quickly: When my Uncle Joe and I (he was 2 years older than myself) were not being "good", my grandmother/Mom/Aunt's (didn't matter which one, any one of them had the privilige) to tell us to "go out front to the willow tree, and get a switch off it for your spanking - and be sure and get a long one, too"! Also, "If you don't quit doing that, I'm gonna' pinch a knot out of you"! That was the scariest one; never happened to any of us, but sure put the fear in us, ane we quit whatever we were doing. A better time, in my mind, but I suppose all generations feel that way.

How about....."since your getting up anyway, turn the TV up please."

Quit crossing your eyes! They will get stuck that way! I used to hear this a lot!!

Children are seen and not heard.

Children come in and stop playing outside.

Have you seen the TV Guide.

Don't forget to put the milk bottles outside.

Always say please and thank you.

I used to hear. "Your face is going to freeze that way if you don't stop it!"

Also, I remember my grandparents talking about the softer pages in the back of the Sears and Roebuck catalog always seemed to disappear first!



Jamesbro, I still have a wind up clock next to my bed. It's a circa 1948 Westclox so one of those sayings still applies to me.
