THINGS YOU DON'T HEAR ANYMORE...

~ Be sure to refill the ice trays - we're going to have company after while.

~ Watch for the postman - I want to get this letter to Aunt Mary in the mail today.

~ Quit slamming the screen door when you are on your way out!

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

~ Why can't you remember to roll up your pant 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 good school clothes on!

~ 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.

~ 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 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.

~ Get out from under the sewing machine; pumping it messes up the thread!

~ Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water so I can wash dishes.

~ No! I don't have nine cents for you to go to the show. Do you think money grows on trees?

~ It is time for your system to get 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!
