I've heard that saying "Don't come crying to me!" before!My parents used to say to me, if you ride that bike down that hill and get hit by a car and killed. Don't come crying to me?
What goodies did your parents repeat to you in similar fashion?
Yikes I never heard that one.Also, I was told if I chew gum in bed, it's like chewing the bones of a dead person. Ever heard of that? Never chewed gum in bed again!
The irony is thick...if you fall down and break your leg, don't come running to me..
Heard around the neighborhood:
You're going to get the belt.
You're going to get the hairbrush.
You're going to get the slipper (known in Spanish as "la chancla").

In our family there were 2 versions:
Mother: You're going to get the wooden spoon (until the wooden spoon broke on someone's butt).
Father: You're going to get a wallop. (My little brother thought he said "wallet," so he did the forbidden thing.)
