Reminiscing with myself (they can’t touch you for it ) about Christmas and Children , I recalled some of the comments made by Parents to Kids .
Do you recognise yourself here , in these quotations from times past ?
" You’ve spent all day with your friends , why do you need to phone them ? "
"And when I say eight o’clock , I mean eight o’clock , not half past ten "
"If you think you are going out looking like that , you can think again "
“Don’t come running to me if you break your leg”
"When I was young ,I got an apple and an orange for Christmas and that was it "
“You want HOW MUCH ? I’ll just go pick some leaves off the money tree , shall I ?”
and my favourite ----'cos it was true–how did she know ?
"And don’t pull faces at me behind the door , either "
first equal with
" And go and change that vest , what would happen if you got run over ?"
Happy Holidays .
