What’s something that your parents used to say to you that you say now?
My Dad says “enough is enough” all the time, and when I find myself saying it even in my head, I cringe.
Sometimes he used it in the context of berating us for bad behaviour and other times he used it to describe something else that was going on in his life.
I find myself wanting to use the Ukrainian word for “sit down” now and then as he used to say this to us.
My kids make fun of me for some of my common sayings which include “do I look like I just fell off a turnip truck?” and “over my dead body”. But I’m not sure where those came from.
