    Things parents used to say

    Am I talking to a brick wall?

    Things parents used to say that we said we wouldn't but find some of them slipping out

    Do as I say, not as I do.

    Don't eat that, you'll get worms!

    I hope someday you have children just like you

    Go to sleep Im tired

    I will give you something to cry about

    If you swallow a watermelon seed a watermelon will grow inside you.

    Don't pick your nose, it'll cave in.

    you're cruisin' for a bruisin'

    My mum would always say. "You could have your eye out with that"
    "paper don't grow on trees".
    They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

    Don't bite your nails because the bits will turn to stone in your tummy.
