Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire THINGS YOU DON'T HEAR ANYMORE.

Be sure to refill the ice trays, we're going to have company. Watch for the postman, I want to get this letter to Willie in the mail today. Quit slamming the screen door when you go out! Be sure and pull the windows down when you leave, it looks like a shower is coming.

Don't forget to wind the clock before you go to bed. Wash your feet before you go to bed, you've been playing outside all day barefooted.

Why can't you remember to roll up your britches legs son? 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 school clothes on! Go comb your hair; it looks like the rats have nested in it all night. 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.

Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won't get on it. 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 boys stay close by, the car may not start and I will need you to help push it off.

There's a dollar in my purse, get 5 gallons of gas when you go to town.

Open the back door and see if we can get a breeze through here, it is getting hot.

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.

If you pull that stunt again, I am going to wear you out! Don't lose that button; I'll sew it back on after awhile.

Wash under your neck before you come to the table, you have beads of dirt and sweat all under there. Get out from under the sewing machine; pumping it messes up the thread! Be sure and fill the lamps this morning so we don't have to do that tonight in the dark.

Here, take this old magazine to the toilet with you when you go, we are almost out of paper out there.

Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water so I can wash dishes. Don't turn the radio on now, I want the battery to be up when the Grand Ole Opry comes on.

No! I don't have 10 cents for you to go to the show. Do you think money grows on trees? Eat those turnips, they'll make you big and strong like your daddy. That dog is NOT coming in this house! I don't care how cold it is out there, dogs don't stay in the house.

Sit still! I'm trying to get your hair cut straight and you keep moving and it is all messed Up.

Hush your mouth! I don't want to hear words like that! I'll wash your mouth out with strong Soap!

It is time for your system to be 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! Soak your foot in this pan of kerosene so that bad cut won't get infected. When you take your driving test, don't forget to signal each turn. Left arm straight out the window for a left turn; left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn; and straight down to the side of the door when you are going to stop.

It's: 'Yes Ma'am!' and 'No Ma'am!' to me, young man, and don't you forget it!

"Go out back and cut me a keen switch!"

Terry,
I think I heard almost all of those in real time.
Good memories, and thanks.
Steve

Yep Steve, I KNOW I did and the switch one Ken mentioned many times over!

"Take this old catalog out to the toilet."

Up hill both ways in the winter with hot rocks in your pockets.....

"you kids be quiet when the adults are talking"

Vacate that chair and let the adults sit.

I carried hot potatoes in my pockets to school in the winter time, and then ate em for lunch. It was five miles to school up hill both ways and in snow neck deep to a tall giraffe while barefoot!

Was TP invented after magazines went to glossy pages?

Had to be!

That one was still in effect when I was a boy.

We are currently trying to teach our 4 y/os to not interrupt.

Run out to the front porch and bring in the milk.

We eat breakfast when the milking is done.

"Take it big love daddy!"

Who shivs a git when it was invented?

Civilization began when it became available in the boonies.

This got me thinking.I dont see any of those iron on knee patches on kids pants.Suppose they dont make them.

Yes they do and my grandsons have jeans with them, grandma puts em on for them.

Patches on knees? Google 'Diesel jeans' and check out what they get for a pair of jeans that look worn out with ragged holes in them! I saw several pair that list for $250+ EACH! Absolute proof there are plenty of idiots alive these days.

Well we made ours worn out the old fashioned way. I still buy jeans that are dark indigo and stiff when new. My oldest grandson was surprised when he saw me in a new pair one time. He was clueless that that was how they looked originally.

Remember getting new jeans wet and them turning your legs blue?
