My Mother taught me religion, she said ''you'd better pray that stain comes out of the carpet''.
She also taught me about time travel, she said'' if you do that again, I'll knock you into the middle of next week''.
she also taught me about anticipation when she said ''just wait till I get you home''

If I was crying, my Mum would say "stop that..or I'll give you something to cry for" I couldn't understand the reasoning......surely..I already HAD something to cry for......that's why I was crying!!! ;D ;D

It was the 'odd' sayings that used to confuse me as a kid ...
Cleanliness is next to Godliness - Was God a soap magnate?
Old Mother Demdike will come after you young lady - Who?
You'll be laughing on the other side of your face in a minute - ?
Nobody ever explains them ;D

Wasn't Mother Demdyke one of the Witches of Pendle?......whatever had you done Tig?  ??  Seems she was a witch Auricula, I've just been looking at the link April posted for us yesterday as I read through the thread. Makes you wonder what the modern version of some of these sayings are, or are they the sort of sayings that die out  |
