I prefer the more sedate: "Don't get your hunny where you get your money."

I broke that rule with my second girlfriend--big big big mistake.

My mom: "It's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt."

Dad: "I'll give you something to cry about!"

He was referring to a spanking, which was odd because I never cried from being spanked.

Mom: "The woman in your (future) life is going to have to get used to taking second place in your life."

I think she used to say this because I used to check out of the abusive dynamic in the household. Or perhaps she felt that I wasn't paying enough attention to her, or not doing enough in her eyes to parent my sister. Typical narcissist. I never responded, but simply rolled my eyes at her self-serving predictions.

Still waiting on the good.

It's reasonable to assume that the frequency will continue to diminish.

"How the hell should I know? Go find out for yourself".

"Part of one end" (recited at the first commercial break of any TV programme.
