Favourite Sayings...

[Andrew]

Do you remember all those favorite sayings your parents used to say to you?

How about....

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away"
"Look both ways before crossing the street"
"Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where its been!"

Any others?

[Tara]

Other than:

Go to your room! & Clean your room!

I seem to have a bit of trouble remembering other some others...lol

"If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"
"Mind your manners"
"Why can't you be more like your sister"
"Mind your p's and q's"
"Make us proud of you"
"If your going to cry, go to your room"

Okay, I just realized I was reading the question wrong....actually, I guess I simply did not finish reading it and was just writing my favorite sayings.

Anything that starts with "You need," or "You should...." were my mother's favorites.
