If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?
Shut the door - I can't pay to heat the whole neighborhood.
There are starving people in India
who would be happy to clean your plate for you.
I'm not everyone else's mother - I'm your mother.
I would have never talked to my mother like that!
Don't use that tone with me!
You better wipe that smile off you face before I do it for you.
Were you born in a barn? Close that door!
"I don't know" is not
an answer.
I don't care what everyone else is doing,
I care what YOU are doing.
As long as you live under my roof, you'll listen to my rules.
Bored? How can you be bored?
I was never bored at your age.
Don't you have anything better to do with yourself?
Don't make me come in there!
Don't roll your eyes at me.
I'm not going to ask you again
What do I look like, your maid?!
I wouldn't make you do it if I didn't love you.
Who do you think you are - the
Queen of Sheba?
Are you going out dressed like THAT?

You'll understand when you're older.
Turn off the light!
Do you think we own the electric company?
Some day you'll thank me for this.
When I was a little girl ...
Act your age!
Don't make me stop this car!
Don't put that in your mouth - you don't know where it's been.
We had a lot more respect for adults when I was a child.
I'll treat you like an adult when you start acting like one.
Go play outside, it's a beautiful day!
I didn't ask who put it there, I said pick it up!
Don't cross your eyes, they'll get stuck that way.
Go to your room and think about what you did.
You didn't learn that in THIS house!
LOOK at me when I'm talking to you.
So it's raining. You're not made of sugar,
you won't melt.
Why? Because I said so!
Am I talking to a brick wall?
I was not put on this earth to entertain you.
