suppertime
"Nobody's getting up from this table until their plates are cleaned"
"There are children your AGE, right now, STARVING in Africa!!"
"If you don't eat yer greens, you won't have muscles like these!"
"Your momma has slaved in this HOT kitchen all day to make you this meal, boys,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,so you better eat everyting on yer plate!"
my mom, when we expressed our appreciation for anything as kids(good food, polished shoes, clean clothes, clean room) or to our questions of how did you do THAT Mom?
she would always reply with, "I learned how to do that in the Corps/Navy/Army/Air Force"
