Parents are the same the world over…I’ve asked my students for those “parent phrases” and they all agree on several. “You think I have a tree that grows money?” “Young man, do you know what time it is?” and then the questions that are not questions: “Would you like to…(clean your room etc)?” meaning go do it…“Do you want me to smack you?” and the classic one you should never answer either way…“Do you think I’m stupid?”
One time, my Grandma asked,“Do you want Peanut butter and jelly, or a ham sandwich for lunch?” I said," I want ham."She said,“Well, you’re getting peanut butter and jelly.”
