Anyone elses parents say some phrases that not only mean absolutely nothing, but they bug they piss outta ya when they say it...

My dads is "I hate to tell you but...." (Of course he dosent hate to tell me, why the hell else would he be saying it except to rub it in my face :))

My friends mom always says "The thing about it is..." (Another retarded phrase)

Well I hate to tell you but the thing about it is that 10 years from now you'll realize your parents are far smarter than you ever imagined.

my mom says "i have to tell you something, i know you won't like it, but i think it is important for you to hear this" and inevitably it'll be some gripe implying lack of perfection on my part. blasphemy!

"If you're not careful, your face will stick that way."

"If you don't shut the f*ck up right f*cking now, I'm gonna beat you within an inch of your pathetic life."

Ah, memories. :)

That one is true. My parents have gotten a lot smarter as I have gotten older. You may say it won't happen in your case. I'm willing to wager in about 95% of the people here it will turn out to be true.


Some day I hope you grow up and have a kid just like you are now.

Oh wait, that one turned out to be true also. ;)

"I'm going to transplant my foot up your ass." "just you wait till your father gets home." "I'll knock your teeth out." But now I'm the parent. I'm trying to be a little bit more leinent.

Plus my son is only 3, so he doesn't understand well just yet.

While we're on the topic of our beloved parents, I wanna throw this one at you fellas......

What is it that your parent does or doesn't do to/with you that you will never do/not do with your own kid? What things do you believe they are doing out of goodness of their heart, but has the opposite effect on you? :)

BTW, my mom always like to say "I've done that 9000 years ago, waiting for you?!?!" and "A good meal is a meal, a shitty meal is a meal. Just stuff it.". I especially hate it when she says the latter right after we have a decent meal. Aargh.

Yup!
When I was about 3-10 years old, my Dad was the smartest guy in the world.
Then when I was about 12-13, he started getting dumber and dumber.
The strangest part is, that when I got to be 19-20, he started getting smarter again.
I never really understood that whole metamorphosis of his.

"Sh*t in one hand and wish in the other, see what one gets full first.* Or when something went wrong, my mothers famous "Sh*t in 27 handbags."

Why couldn't I have a normal family? :eek:
