when i was your age!

[Flick James]

I actually read something today that made me think of this thread.  In was in one of the morining comics, where a kid is about to due something stupid.  His mother tells him not to, but he challenges her on it.  Telling her "that because I said so" was not a legitiamate reason.


I NEVER would have gotten away with something like that when I was a kid.  "Because I said so" was a legitmate reason.  Also makes me realize the old nuclear parental phrase "Wait, til your father gets home" has probably lost some of its teeth.

Here's the comic:

I always liked the Bill Cosby bit:

"When your father gets home, he's going to shoot you in the fact with a bazooka. And I am not going to stop him this time."
