tie your shoes

wipe your nose

'Oh' another  one I just thought of:

'Just wait and see where the cat jumps'.   (In other words, have patience.) 

(Often said by my dear dad.)

My granny used to start her stories with, "As the old fellow says..."  I asked her once who the "old fellow" was and she replied, "how should I know?"

 My very southern grandma had so many sayings it is hard to remember them all...but then I hear myself saying some of hem!

Girls don't sweat, they glisten...

Just because someone else jumps off a bridge doesn't mean you have to.

Taken down a peg or two.

 A thing worth doing is worth doing well.

Holy smokes!

'Gee'........Lots of good advice from our parents via 'good, old' sayings........

I'm trying to think of new sayings that might benefit the present day youngsters........

Go on out and play and get the stink blown off you.  That was a dousie.

Don't spend it all in one place.  (Remember penny candy)?  So that was a joke.

Wait till your dad comes home!!!

Back to add: "if your friend jumped off a cliff, would you do that too?"

O just remembered a couple more
My Nanny used to say....

You reap what you sow ....

You can stick that ....where the sun
don't shine ✨️

Don't take any wooden nickels.

Only pick up a penny if it's face up, upside down bad luck.

Never open an umbrella in the house.

Break a mirror, bad luck for 7 years.
