In honor of moving back in with my parents (I am that cool) I decided to list a few of their favorite sayings.
My Dad not only has a song about getting a job. He also loves to remind us to "make your plan and work your plan." Which is a pretty good recipe for getting stuff done.
Some of my Mom's best advice is to dress up when you feel crappy because how you look effects how you feel about yourself. So if you are having a low self esteem day or a big meeting or test wear your favorite outfit. It really does make a difference.
They both also use to say "But the candle back!" It is a reference to the movie Young Frankenstein. It used in moments of chaos when the best course of action is to just stand still.
What are your favorite parental sayings?

"Be good. Study hard. No conduct cuts." ~Dad
My father used to tell us this before we left for school each morning. 'Conduct cuts' where given for bad behavior in elementary school. If you received enough of them it resulted in some kind of punishment. He still tells me this as an adult. I'm not entirely sure what the adult equivalent of conduct cuts are, but I think the penalties and fines are much more tough than missing recess...
"When your father and I die, you'll only have each other." ~Ma
My mother tells my brother and I this all the time. She thinks we need to be reminded to love each other.
