"Top 5 Dumb Things Moms Say"

Criteria: This is not a list specific to only our experiences. For example, Arnie's grandmother used to tell him that ants would grow in his nose if he didn't pick it. That's funny, but not common. This list is about all of those stupid scare tactics and ignorant statements that Moms use to try to make their kids behave, when in fact, all they really accomplish is creating dumb children.

Rob's Notes: My choices center around stupidity. The more ignorant or false the statement, the more likely it made my list. perpetuating lies about life to your children is not ok, no matter how easy it may make your job as the parent at the time. Also, I decided anything that was a threat, like "I'll give you something to cry about," was not dumb, because it's just an attempt to control your misbehaving rat.


Arnie's Notes: Look here, I love my parents, but they did say some really stupid things to me. I know where I was born and how do they know the starving kids in Africa would eat the crap you served me, have you ever been there??
