Things to say to children
When I was a kid my dad had a few sayings that I've passed on to my kids. My dad's most prominent one when we would say we didn't want to do something was: You don't have to want to, you just have to. I've shortened it to: You don't have to want to. Anyone else have any sayings their parents used that they've used with their children?

Shit in one hand, want in the other and see which one fills up first.
-MomAfter doing something stupid that resulted in pain my dad would say "do that again I didn't see it the first time."

I forgot about this one. My mom used to use this one as well.

I tell my kids;
There are 3 things you can do with a problem: whine about it, live with it, do something about it.
Never assume the person driving the other car is a better driver than you are.
Always watch the front tires, they'll tell you where that car is going.
Watch where your head, hands, and feet are going; everything else will follow. (My 4 year old was constantly bumping his head on stuff).

Me: Where is my {misc. toy or object of mine}?
Dad: If it was up your ass eating a ham sandwich you'd know where it was.

The last post reminded me of another one: If it were a snake it would have bit you.
Also, Grandpa had a good saying for trying to get out the door: We're off like a herd of turtles.

Like a few others on here, I don't have kids yet. When I do, however, I plan to use some of these "Dad sayings."
*me complaining about something I can't change* "Welp, if frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their ass every time they jumped."
"It couldn't have hurt that bad. I didn't feel it!"
"You whine like a mule, and you move like pond water."
"Thank you, son. You are a gentleman and a scholar, and I hope that all your babies come out nekkid."
A few I don't plan to use:
"I dunno. I just live here."
"Welp, gotta have a shmoke."
"Do you want me to give you something to really cry about?"
