"Eat your mushrooms Julian"
"But I don't like mushrooms"
"You never had mushrooms before"
"I know, because I don't like them"
Clip round the ear
"Now eat your mushrooms, you'll stop growing if you don't"
And one of my sisters was told she'd if she didn't eat her boiled eggs she'd never grown any boobs when she got older!
Parents can be such liars

"Get an advanced degree or you'll live paycheck to paycheck."
though it suddenly is true if you make it read "and" instead of "or".
It was a routine, common rail accident on April 30, 1900 in Vaughn, Mississippi.
The only casualty was engineer John Luther “Casey” Jones, who was killed by a board entering the cabin. The story could have easily been forgotten.
Don’t you tell me, there ain’t no Jesus.
Because on the 368 Cannonball Express high balling it’s way South that evening at 90 miles an hour, and making up lost time, was a fireman named Sim Webb as black as the coals he shoveled, and with his dying words, Casey said:
You’d better jump, Sim, jump, or we’ll all be dead!
And Sim Webb did jump, and lived to tell the story.
From all that grew the greatest secular tradition in the old time Christian Church of my youth. Every April 30, was Hero’s Day.

When your Master’s call comes, will you stay steady on your posted station, so that others, might live?
Casey Jones died for others,
Would you?

A lie is a lie regardless of is “color”. My parents didn’t tell them to me, nor did I to my children. I do recall being told ( and telling my kids), “I don’t know. Let’s look it up.”
You got that right!! What is the appropriate sequence of "emojis" here? I believe it's:
We have an orange juice plant in our area and told our kids that. They got to where they would crane their necks to watch in awe as the white smoke/steam rose up. Now the grand-kids are "learning" about clouds too.

Seems like every post you make is an excuse to torture us with another country & western song.
When I was a kid there were Casey Jones movies, carnival rides, television series, museums, and our parents made Casey into sort of a Christ figure.
99% of the story is pure legend.
I daren't do that Simon, she'd string me up. Suffice to say, she must have eaten plenty of boiled eggs!How did she get on?
Post a picture if you must. Enquiring minds an all.
