"It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."

I generally trot that one out when Mrs R notices the freezer or the pantry getting crowded, or when the Little Guy doesn't want to bring his jacket when we go to the park on a cool day.

Yours?

8. "When I was a kid..."

Everyone ends up saying that, I think.

[Redstone]

12. Boy, don't we! Unfortunately, I can't trot out the one about walking seven

miles to school each day. I did walk to school, but both of my kids have seen the house where I grew up, and the school I went to, and know that the two are only a quarter-mile apart.

I find myself saying "I am your mother, that's why!" a lot.

I've been using that one on my kids when they say "how come I have to go to college when you didn't?"
