From Mums everywhere...

 

Because I said so.

Don't look at me in that tone of voice

If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?

Who's "she"? The cat's mother?

What did your last slave die of?

Eating the crusts will make your hair curly.

I said to my Mam once "what did your last slave die of" and she said "answering back!!" LOL

If he asks where something is my reply is '' its in the sideboard'' and when its getting dark its '' put the big light on''. ..... I also say put the crocks away don't leave them on the draining board...lol

The big light lol, I hate having the big light on. :)

 

As I have got older I have done away with these energy saving light bulbs ... I recall saying '' I need to see what I am doing at my age I cant afford a fall'' :laugh:
