FUNNY MUM
QUOTES
for Mother's Day

2. Mums are funny little creatures.
They used to tell us that if we
sucked our thumb it'd drop off,
and if we pulled a face when the
wind changed direction, we'd be
stuck like that forever.

3. But the joke is
on us, because
we believed it.

4. So for Mother's Day,
here's a nostalgic trip down
memory lane, reminding you of all
the lovely, wonderful, sarcastic,
(sometimes) threatening things
your Mum used to say...

You better
wipe that look
off your face
The moment these words
escaped your Mum's lips,
you knew that whatever
facial expression you were
pulling, even if you
weren't being sassy, it
needed to change to
immediately.

Did you
remember to
take the meat
out of the
freezer?
A question that to this day
still haunts us. Why?
Because of course we
hadn't remembered. We
were too busy doing...not
much actually. The only
thing to do was prepare
yourself for the inevitable
wrath and eat toast for
dinner.

You treat this
house like a
hotel.
This was a confusing one
because hotels have room
service, someone to answer
your questions 24/7, and a
team of chefs to prepare
breakfast, lunch, dinner,
dessert, snacks, drinks...
Oh, wait.
Yeah we probably did.

Do you think
money grows
on trees?
Well, money is made out of
paper, and paper is made
out of trees....so, technically,
money IS trees.

Stop crying or
I'll give you
something to
cry about!
This was just wrong on so
many levels. We were already
upset, why would our mothers
who love us dearly want to
make us cry again!?

I'll wash your
mouth out
with soap!
What an absolute bluff if
there ever was one. If we
were to put soap in our
mouth for a joke, Mum
would be the first one to
rush over and scream about
how harmful it is. So why
would our mother, who
loves us dearly, do this on
purpose?
I don't think so.

Quiet! I can't
hear myself
think!
This doesn't make any sense.
Physically, logically,
grammatically.
This phrase was also heard in
the car, when the radio
needed to be turned down in
order for your Mum to
remember how to drive.

Do as I say,
not as I do.
"Right, I'm going to tell you
not to do something, but
then you'll see me doing this
exact thing straight after.
You'll get confused but copy
me anyway, yet I'll still shout
at you for disobeying me."
Thanks for setting me up for
life, Mum.

I'm not asking,
i'm telling.
What's ironic is that we
were always taught to ask
politely, say please and
thank you and never just
expect anything.
Pot calling the kettle
black?
(This is usually the face
she'd be pulling too).

You can't go
outside with
wet hair, you'll
catch a cold.
According to all Mums
ever, if we weren't
dressed like it was -30°c
outside, we'd catch a
cold.

What do you
mean you've
got nothing to
wear?
Mainly a memory for
teenage girls, this was
often a daily discussion
that happened in
bedrooms across the
country. With the entire
contents of your wardrobe
thrown in anger across the
floor, you'd defiantly
protest you had nothing to
wear. It was true.

You'd forget
your head if it
wasn't
attached to
your body.
Well if my head wasn't
attached to my body, I
wouldn't be able to forget
as my brain wouldn't work.
Again, another nonsensical
insult fed to us on a regular
basis :)
