Do you want your ears boxed?

I suppose answering, "Yes, please, and do you offer gift wrapping?" would not have been appreciated.

Right!  It was answers like that which pretty much guaranteed a boxing of the ears.

No ifs ands or buts.

'Think of the starving people in Africa.'

Telling them to send what you didn't eat to them is apparently not the correct answer.

Both of my parent's have had their own unique commentary at times.    My mother bringing up "Judas"  during moments of discomfort or irritation.    Dad much the same.    I grew up in a household where some curse words were acceptable,  "damn" and "hell"  were used by them,   but "fuck"  would never be uttered.   Even if I use it today,  I'd be reminded I'm not too old to have my mouth washed out with soap.

Somebody would probably pay good money to do and/or watch that.

Some expressions my father used - 'He drives like a bat out of hell'.  Or referring to someone one wasn't to bright.   'He can't tell the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground.'

"You're such a disappointment that I wish I was born without a uterus!!!"  Yes, mom could be mean, but she was also creative... LOL

The irony is that she eventually had to have a hysterectomy later in life....

I wouldn't mind monkeying around with that young man myself.  😛

I have reached the point where I constantly hear my mother's voice saying "your mother's not as young as she used to was" as I utter whatever noises accompany my graceful movements throughout the day.
