Did your mother used to say……..

My Dad not my Mum - you are not going out wearing that. 😂

Mine used to say to tuck your vest into your knickers to protect your kidneys.

Don’t mess around with boys at bus stops. I was 11 and baffled.

My mum often said eat your carrots , they’re good for your eyesight. When questioned on that theory she said “well have you ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses 🤓

You’ll get square eyes if you sit too close to the television

My Mum must have known yours Cossy
All those, especially Always wear clean underwear in case you get run over. I did and I was and they cut them off!

Also, my Gran’s favourite ^If you fall off that wall and break your leg, don't come running to me for sympathy.^

😂😂😂😂 Secret sisters eh!!

Many many things:

Don’t pull faces, the wind will change and you’ll stay like that

Wear clean knickers, in case you get run over!

Wear a vest or you’ll catch a chill
Put your coat on or you’ll catch a cold

Close your mouth or flies will get in

Wash behind your ears, do you don’t grow potatoes (really haha)

Eat your carrots so you’ll see in the dark.
Eat up your crusts so your hair will curl

Don’t eat walking down the street, it’s common.

And my two particular favourites,

Don’t sit on radiators you’ll get piles
Don’t put cold feet up at the fire, you’ll get chilblains, I did both, I got neither!

I did wear clean knickers every day and I did get run over!

Ne’r cast a clout ‘til May be out.
You’re having Vick on your chest.
Turn your vest and socks inside out, the clean ones aren’t dry.

She used to swap top and bottom sheets around to get an extra week before washing with the gas copper and mangle.

My old mum would always say the same thing whenever I went out for the night as a teenager ‘always keep your hand on your ha’penny’ which never failed to embarrass me in front of my friends when they came to call for me.

The day before my wedding my Mum told me “if you don’t both reach an orgasm at the same time you won’t get pregnant”! She had three children, nine years between the first two and twelve years between the second and third!!

I was quite small when I remember her saying this, not more than about six years old.

Always moisturise your neck at the same time as your face and rub any left over cream into your elbows. I doubt if anyone ever notices my stunning elbows.

Don’t sit on the doorstep otherwise you’ll get piles !
I wonder if that’s true .

No, not from mine.
