THINGS YOU DON'T HEAR ANYMORE

Be sure to refill the ice trays, we're going to have company.

Watch for the postman,

I want to get this letter to Cousin Willie in the mail today.

Quit slamming the screen door when you go out!

Be sure and pull the windows down when you leave,

it looks like a shower is coming up.

Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.

Wash your feet before you go to bed,

you've been playing outside all day barefooted.

Why can't you remember to roll up your britches legs?

Getting them caught in the bicycle chain so many times

is tearing them up.

You have torn the knees out of that pair of pants so many times there is nothing left to put a patch on.

Don't you go outside with your school clothes on!

Go comb your hair; it looks like the rats have nested in it all night.

Be sure and pour the cream off the top of the milk

when you open the new bottle.

Take that empty bottle to the store with you so

you won't have to pay a deposit on another one.

Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won't get on it.

Quit jumping on the floor! I have a cake in the oven

and you are going to make it fall if you don't quit!

Let me know when the Fuller Brush man comes by,

I need to get a few things from him.

You boys stay close by, the car may not start

and I will need you to help push it off.

There's a dollar in my purse, get 5 gallons of gas

when you go to town.

Open the back door and see if we can get

a breeze through here, it is getting hot.

You can walk to the store; it won't hurt you to get some exercise.

Don't sit too close to the TV. It is hard on your eyes.

If you pull that stunt again, I am going to wear you out!

Don't lose that button; I'll sew it back on after awhile.

Wash under your neck before you come to the table,

you have beads of dirt and sweat all under there.

Get out from under the sewing machine;

pumping it messes up the thread!

Be sure and fill the lamps this morning

so we don't have to do that tonight in the dark.

Here, take this old magazine to the toilet with you when you go, we are almost out of paper out there.

Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water

so I can wash dishes.

Don't turn the radio on now, I want the battery to be up

when the Grand Ole Opry comes on.

No! I don't have 10 cents for you to go to the show.

Do you think money grows on trees?

Eat those turnips, they'll make you big and strong like your daddy.

That dog is NOT coming in this house!

I don't care how cold it is out there, dogs don't stay in the house.

Sit still! I'm trying to get your hair cut straight

and you keep moving and it is all messed up.

Hush your mouth! I don't want to hear words like that!

I'll wash your mouth out with soap!

It is time for your system to be cleaned out.

I am going to give you a dose of castor oil tonight.

If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it,

you'll get another one when you get home.

Quit crossing your eyes! They will get stuck that way!

Soak your foot in this pan of kerosene

so that bad cut won't get infected.

When you take your driving test, don't forget to signal each turn. Left arm straight out the window for a left turn;

left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn;

and straight down to the side of the door

when you are going to stop.

It's: 'Yes Ma'am!' and 'No Ma'am!' to me, young man,

and don't you forget it!

Y'all come back now, ya hear!

Bring back any memories?

[Dorothy]

I'm way too young to have heard any of these

[Shellyamc]

I do remember a few of these!!

Some of them I wish we could still hear

[Tinker]

If you keep making that face , it might stay like that one day and you won't need a mask for Halloween .
Its the 2nd Friday, we have to wait to go shopping until the paper boy comes to be paid .
Don't forget to put the old milk bottles out , so the milkman picks them up , when he delivers the fresh milk .
Call the doctor and have him make a house call . So and so is sick !
When I went to school, I had to walk miles with holes in my shoes and it didn't hurt me . Made me who I am today .
Get up Sunday morning for Sunday school & church and if your to sick to go , your too sick to go outside or come out of your room for that matter .
WoW, am I really that old .

Memories?? What's really sad is that I still say a few of them

[Mandy]

I have to admit I do remember some of them and still use a few still now.

[wdwgrandma]

I heard a few of them growing up - and I may have used one or two myself....

[foreverducky]

I have heard some and say some now!

And i have eaten soap before, the liquid kind....better than the bar.
