I remember my mother telling me when I was doing dangerous stuff in the backyard.

“If you break your leg don’t come running to me”

I always wondered if I did was that possible.

That one kinda reminds me of the line from Penn Gillette: "Grieve in the way that makes you happy."

My dad once told me, "Don't play pranks on your sisters because you got to sleep sometime.". I didn't listen and played a prank on one of my sisters and sure enough when I went to sleep she paid me back and it was much worse than the prank I played on her.

My Mom once told me, if I do that, I'll wake up dead....
She took a second and then realized what she said....

My 8th grade math teacher to me "Why are you staring out the window" You'll never get ahead doing that. Ok well it did pay off in a way I'm a Policeman. Among other duties I actually get paid to "look around".

My Dad said: "Anything you are thinking of doing, I've already done it and done it better."
"I helped bring you into this world, I can take you out."
"There ain't no way, NO WAY that you could come from my loins!"

Found that one didn't hold water in the real world. Was an EMT on an ambulance crew for our Volunteer Fire Dept. Found that many that sustained severe injuries had also urinated and defecated on themselves,

“Keep your legs strong. They’ll carry you through life.”
Was another one my grandmother would say.

Or as Bill Cosby (IIRC) famously said years ago, "When you see that truck coming right at you, first you say it, then you do it."
