What your mother used to say

Ok sat here eating my breakfast and told spug what my mum used to say and he laughed.

I was eating toast - and left the crusts and mum used to say eat your crusts and your hair will go curly!!! Well i didnt want my hair to go curly and so never eat the crusts!!! Another one was eat your carrots up so then you can see in the dark.

Any more?

My mum used to say "Princess Margaret wouldn't do that"
