If you don’t eat your carrots then you won’t be able to see in the dark!

I eat tons of them, and I can't see properly in the day light.

He must have found me ages ago, I've been picking them out of my nose for as long as I can remember.

You make a better door than a window. Old man used to say that if we were stood in the way of the tv.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it

Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about.

It's not something I've passed on.

My mum would say that to us... It was true but harsh.

Felt like passing it on many a time to many people!!

I can't agree. A crying child needs support from someone that loves them, not a threat of violence because they're crying.

Especially if the crying was caused by violence in the first place.

It will all come out in the wash

Life’s unfair you’d better get used to it

Apparently there's a 'tradition' that if you're passing a pocket knife on to someone, even as a gift, the receiver must always pay for the knife, even just a penny.
Anyone else come across this one - ?

I totally agree.

She said it and in hindsight it was true but not the right thing to say.

I would never say it... Although it has often come to mind when dealing with people who like to winge!!

In this neck of the woods, it's not uncommon to see / hear a child crying, but said child is actually whingeing because it isn't getting it's own way.
But that is a whole different situation.

It is better to let people think you are stupid, rather than open your mouth and prove it.

I thought you had to give silver with it, otherwise the knife is cutting your friendship

No, but it sounds similar to giving someone a purse or wallet where you have to put a coin in there as well, else it's bad luck.
