My mom's most used saying, "I'm going to shake the liver out of you!" She said it as a sign of affection or as a threat when she was angry.

They count 1, 2, 3 which they never got to 3

No Swimming for 2 hours after eating

And the one I miss to this day, not a saying, But when Mom would stand on the little red stool, so she could look down at me to give it to me...
