Things your Mam would say.

[Chippy_Tea]

Daft things your Mam used to say when you were a kid.


"If you fall off that wall and kill yourself don't come crying to me"

During a lightening storm my mam used to open a window at the front and a window at the back of the house, so if it struck it would go straight through and not hit anything.... I kid you not

The old one when pulling a face at her -"if the wind changes direction you will stay like that"

I remember my grandparents, aunts etc doing this. Turn everything off and unplug it! Open the doors! Get the candles out of the cupboard! Etc.

My mum used to say 'get out' a lot...

"If you hurt yourself - give it a rub"

- Because rubbing gravel into an open wound is supposed to help?

My Mum's favourite was "This'll sting a bit." as she rubbed salt into a cut or dabbed iodine on it. :thumb: :thumb:

To give her due respect, she never lied! :lol: :lol:

Don't wear your jacket in the house you won't feel the benefit when you go outside.

Conversation with my Dad - me aged about ten.

Dad - "What are you doing?"

Me - "Reading a book."

Dad - "It's a lovely day out there, you should be outside."

Me - "There's nothing to do out there."

Dad - "Of course there is. You and your mates could dig a few trenches and throw half building bricks at each other."

He wasn't kidding and in retrospect I think he really wanted me out of the house for reasons unknown to me at the time! :whistle: :whistle:

We really did have to make our own entertainment in those days eh! :thumb: :thumb:

My grandma used to solve all health problems by rubbing Savlon on the affected area and giving us a polo.

Very true, but I well remember playing with the kid next door when he ran his three-wheeler bike into the coal-shed door at the bottom of the garden and did considerable damage to his private parts.

Why do I remember?

Because his Mum came out of their house and carted him back up the garden to the back yard. She then stood him on the wall between our two houses, took down his trousers, called out my Mum and the woman next-door-but-one, and held an impromptu discussion as to what to do next!

The discussion was carried out with much prodding, peering and lifting of the kids privates before it was unanimously decided that the damage was probably not permanent and a quick wash in warm salty water was all that would be required.

The kid's screams of anguish when the "cure" was applied haunted my dreams for many years!

Happy Days! :whistle: :whistle:
