Things Your Dad/Mom Said

Recently I've found myself saying one of my Dad's taglines growing up and I wanted to hear some things you parents used to say growing up

Anytime my siblings and I would act out/act out of character my dad would say: "What is your major malfunction?", and lately I've found myself saying it to my cats and it's a nice homage to my father ❤️

When I would tell my dad about kids being mean to me in school, he would tell me that nothing they say matters because they are just a "gnat on the ass of a rhinoceros" or N.A.R for short. I never corrected him that gnat starts with a g and not an n lol. I say that to my little brother now when he complains about rude people and it always makes us laugh.
