Yeah we got that one a time or two also.

I love that one! (As a dad! ) (I don't recall my folks using it, ever. Didn't have to. They were great examples for us! )

My mom used to say, "I'm so mad I can't even see straight!"

Made me really nervous because usually a whipping was to follow.....and she couldn't see straight!

This hurts me more than it does you. (said while YOU are getting the whipping)

My folks have said to us "Get a room!", but that was at least a year ago.

"Boy we are fixing to go round and round and it's only going to take me half a turn for you to figure me out"...I love using that one...LOL

Mom never used this one, but my Grandmother used it.

Well......you don't think the sun shines on the same dog's tail all the time, do you?
