What is the strangest thing your parents have ever said to you?

Asked by tia29 (189points) April 7th, 2008 from iPhone

My parents had four girls and we were rowdy. One day after a big fight my mom had said ‘why don’t ya’ll go play on the freeway?’. We knew that my mom had hit her breaking point. We weren’t allowed near the freeway, so we sat quietly in our room talking about her until our dad got back.

A few weeks ago, I was at Disney World waiting to get on Pirates of the Caribbean, and I heard a mother say to her child, “don’t make me sit on you!” I kid you not. she was kindof large and I think she was having a hard time keeping the child close to her, because she was chasing her through the line. Several people heard her say this and everyone’s attention went to her…she just kindof smiled and kept chasing her daughter. We all had a good laugh.

My husband’s mother calls him every year for his birthday. She starts off asking him to thank her for thevavsolute he’ll she went through giving birth to him. She then goes on to say what an ugly baby he was, and how she wished he would have been as cute as her nephew. She then tells him she has been waiting all of these years for her reimbursement check for paying for his birth. ( plus interest on 38 years)

It’s amazing to me that he is such a good dad after being raised by her.

By the way…she is not joking. She wants her thank you and cash. Each year that it does not come, she gets mad.

I had a cracked rib (didn’t know it at the time) as a kid, I told my mom it hurt when I took a deep breath, and she said “Don’t breathe, then”.

When I first started my period, I was about 12. My mother sat me down to give me another one of those “talks”. At the end she said “Now that means you cant have sex with boys anymore”...

Well this isn’t about my parent but I want to tell it.
My friend Melinda got to be eleven or so
and she thought her mother should talk to her about Kotex (Kotex is something you-all don’t know about, but it was the precursor to tampons, and it came in huge blue boxes).
Her mother had always kept her Kotex boxes in the linen closet.
Melinda went to her mother and said, “Mom, what’s Kotex?”
Her mother said, “I don’t know.”
