Silly Sentences Used By Moms Around The World

The silly sentences used by moms around the world seem to be the same and present on every continent. It doesn’t matter where you grew up. Because mothers seemed to be copying from each other and racing over who would use more silly sentences to their children. It’s clear that it is the mothers who spend the most time with their offspring and it is quite understandable that they sometimes lose patience. Silly Sentences Used By Moms Around The World

And then they turn what they wanted to say into funny, silly, crazy, and sometimes unbelievable. There are, among them, those cult, famous, universal, and sentences passed down from generation to generation. Although children, primarily women, say that they will not even think of saying something like that to their children, at some point, it starts happening. That’s the charm of silly sentences used by moms around the world.

 

 

Silly Sentences Used By Moms Around The World

 

Interestingly it has never occurred to me before that I remember these sentences and think about them longer. Or to count them. Until now. They were simply there, recorded in the memory and sometimes also without much thought used in the training and education of my children. Sometimes I laughed to myself (inside, of course) thinking about what I had said to the children. But some small part of the brain, from the drawers of memory, unmistakably connects the relevant sentences with specific situations.

As silly as they are and funny to use, they are there as a kind of parental footsteps. It is noticeable that some sentences, which I have carefully collected in the list below, are said in moments of parental helplessness. It’s as if you don’t know what to say, and then you quickly reach for a relieving sentence to gain time and think of something better.

It is clear that some of these sentences are not pedagogical at all and that children are angry and grumble at them. Although many of the silly sentences that moms around the world use are not pedagogical, it is clear that they hide hidden and important lessons about parenting. Because, mothers seem to be in charge of all our life schools, from the earliest age, as long as they are mothers. And that sometimes means sentences that irritate us in childhood, and even make us laugh.

 

 

Silly Sentences Used By Moms Around The World

 

1. You will only get sweets if you eat your lunch!

The order that’s just right for every mother. If you want sweets, you must eat your lunch first. Point.

 

2. There are hungry people in Africa who would give anything for a meal you don’t want!

We know that children are sometimes picky when it comes to food. If they start avoiding to eat certain foods or types of food, this sentence is used. It is an (ugly) reminder of the great gratitude we should have for food because so many children do not have food to eat today or the opportunity to choose.

 

3. Stop laughing or I’ll help you stop! Wipe that smile off your face before I do it for you!

Sometimes children’s mood gets out of control and they start laughing for no reason, even to us mothers. And then we don’t like it.

 

4. I know what you’re doing, I’m not born yesterday! Or – I wasn’t born yesterday, you know!

 I went through that school! Then when children want to convince us of something, and we know it’s not like that, these sentences are used. When a child begins to convince us that he is doing the right thing, not acting, we also reprimand him for the bad actions.

 

5. Because I said so!

This is perhaps the most famous and favorite sentence that mothers address to their children when they do not know or do not want to explain to them the reason why they expect something from them. With this sentence, mothers insist on their parental authority and demand that they are respected. For example / You’re not going anywhere until you tidy that room! Why? Because I said so!

 

6. With the first darkness you have to be home!

Who hasn’t heard this yet? Should this sentence be explained ?!

 

7. If your friend jumped off a bridge, would you?!

This is a silly sentence used by moms around the world, I’m sure of it. In this strange but very clear way, they let the children know that they need to be individuals, who will think in their way and not take someone else’s opinion. This is especially true for children, who copy other people’s, mostly bad actions.

 

8. I’m not interested in other children, I’m only interested in you!

This sentence is most often used in moments when a child is comparing itself to others, wanting to justify itself. It is most often a failure at school.

 

9. When I was your age, I didn’t do it that way! (I worked differently, I walked more …) Back in my day…

And this is a famous sentence of all moms, but also fathers and grandparents, who want to explain how everything was different and better in their time. But it is clear that every time has it’s good and bad sides, so this sentence is sometimes very questionable. Because a lot has changed since the time our mothers or other seniors were children. However, no matter how it sounds, it is good for children to know how you grew up and how it was for you. Because based on your experience, they can make comparisons or correct some of their actions.

 

10. When you have your children, you’ll know … You’ll understand when you’re a parent!

Sometimes something that mothers do children find funny or weird. And then we want to tell them that the day will come when they will do the same.

 

12. Well, did you born in a barn / a boat?!

This is funny, but also a natural angry reaction in moments when the child behaves inappropriately, whether he eats with his mouth full and talks or does not close the door behind him. This phrase, no matter how funny, is a reminder of how important it is to be cultured, polite, and nice.

 

13. It’s like I’m talking to the walls and not you! Look at me as I address you! Talking to you is like talking to a brick wall!

In some situations, mothers want to repeat to their children how important it is to be good and smart. This almost threatening sentence is there for children to understand.

We know that children know little about finances. This sentence is usually used as a rebuke in moments when children ask for more than what a parent can afford in financial terms. At the same time, this is a kind of invitation to children to be financially reasonable. This is very important, especially nowadays, because children are bombarded with expensive products.

 

16. Don’t stand in front of the TV, your dad is not a glazier!

Sometimes I think that every mother in the world has said this to her child. And it is clear in which situation …

17. While you are under my roof, you will respect my rules! As long as you’re under my roof, you live by my rules! When you pay the bills you can do whatever you want!

Adult children most often listen to this sentence. It most often refers to teenagers who try to behave rebelliously and oppose parental authority. Also, this sentence lets the child know that there are rules in the house, which must be followed.

Very often mothers in this way draw our attention to the fact that we are louder in our address to them than we should be. And it is not so much what we say that matters here, but in what way. This is very important because it teaches us to resolve conflicts peacefully and express our opinion.

 

20. Don’t make a fool of me!

Most often, in the moments when children irritate them to the maximum, mothers cling to this sentence. It is usually used in moments when the mother knows that we have abused her, lied to her, or demanded too much from her at a given moment. After this sentence, it is wisest to remain silent and admit the mistake.

24. We’ll cross that bridge when we reach it! We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it!

28. You are not made of sugar, you will not melt!

This is usually used when a child is frightened by light rain when there is no umbrella. And then a mother comes along who reminds him that nothing will happen to him from a few drops of rain. This is a call for children to become stronger and more resilient and courageous, not cowards.

 

29. And you’re serious now! Aren’t you kidding?!

Last Thoughts

It is true that among the silly sentences used by moms around the world there are funny, non-pedagogical, raw, and almost scary sentences, but almost every one includes a lesson. New generations also use these sentences precisely because of the messages they send. And they swore it wouldn’t happen. Primarily because they were annoyed and angry as they grew up.

Although mothers can sometimes be angry and almost intimidating, they are the ones who want us to be great human. They want good children to be proud of and to be able to brag about. And most importantly, it will give them confirmation that they have done their job well. The fact that their methods are not always as they should be is perhaps a sign that they cannot always be up to the task.
