one of my mom's best when we were being too rowdy was " if that doesn't stop right now, i'm going to pick one of you up and knock the other down with him."
my brother being 3 yrs. older, you can guess who always got to be the bat.

Thanks! That's an understatement! She's still going at 92, and claims now it's handier to deal with unruly children as she has to walk with a cane...Logs wrote:dlj that is really funny , your mom must be a real character

True story - my mother was having problems some years ago and thought it was her lower back. She'd had lower back problems early in life. When she walked into the Doc, he looked at her and asked what was up with her neck? She said no, it's my lower back. He said no - we need an MRI. Turns out he was right. At some time many years earlier she had broken her neck, and never even knew about it. The bones had healed back together a bit off and she was beginning to have problems. She had to have neck surgery. That was about 15 years ago, I think. Can you imagine breaking your neck and not even knowing it??? Well, knowing my mother, I'm not actually too surprised...

Opinions are like a**holes, everybody got one
There are more horses asses than horses
My Dad had alot if sayings , I wish I could remember more of them. He had a stroke about 5 years ago and it messed up his speech. He has a hard time coming up with the correct words so he doesn't speak much. I still have him though . He just had a birthday 88 and other than his speech he's in pretty good shape.
