I'm becoming my mother

Things I say that my mother said when I was a child...

• That's inappropriate
• Are you listening to me?
• ONE... TWO....
• You are about to get a consequence
• Are you acting the right way?
• That's unacceptable
• Look at me when I'm talking to you
• What did I just say?
• You're smarter than that
• Wait till your father gets home
• Because I said so
• I'm the MOM, that's why!
• You won't get what you want acting that way

For record, my mother said lots of wonderful things too.  These phrases were her standards when we weren't behaving (and my brother and I often didn't behave).  Whenever I say these to Darius, I think of my mom and how well she raised us. Love you Mom!
