One I heard today was, "Do it yourself. Are your hands painted on?"

Makes me think of one that's not in my family, but my husband's: "What's the matter? Got a piano tied to your leg?" to someone being lazy or expecting someone else to make the effort.

LOL Mine is pretty easy My mom used to tell me atleast 4-5 times a day.....Your Grounded,Go to your room, and after a while it became.....Give me your phone......gee you'd think I was a bad kid LOL......I just didn't like school and got bad grades.

My dad on the other hand used to tell me
"you're gonna be something someday"
"you're gonna be a beautiful women"
"you know you can talk to me"

When I ask mum to make me a sandwhich or something she'll say "What did your last slave die of". I love sayings!

Oh and if I ask her what we're having for dinner she'll say "Wiggwom and a gooses bridle" or something along those lines LOL. and if I ask her "why" she'll say Y is a crooked letter and Z' is no better!

My parents used to say some weird hickish things.

Dad would say:

"Were you born in a barn?"
"You make a better door than a window!"
"That smells like a ***** in heat!"<--this to describe heavy perfume

Mom would say:

"Jesus Christ on a crutch!"<--I got in trouble when I asked her why Jesus was on a crutch.
"That's slicker than snot!"
"You keep that up and one of you's gonna get hurt!"<--I have found myself saying this to my cats over and over again.
