Question: What is the funniest "empty threat" you've ever heard from an elder in your family? Did they ever carry out their "threat"???

Granny always made good on her threats. Told my cousin once, that she would slap the chewing gum out his mouth if he smarted her again.

Like a dummy, he did...1-2-WHAM! Picked that cane up off the floor, tossed if from her left to her right hand and POW! Gum went flying and hit the screen door. The rest of us scattered like roaches.

My aunt when we were kids: "ya'll get ya'lls a$*es over here and sit down. I'ma call up Santa right now. Ya'll sit there and listen."

So nuff she picked up that black rotary dial phone and pretended to call Santa. She went on and on about how bad we were and how he ought not stop by our house for Christmas. We totally believed her.

My parents use to threaten to trade us in for 2 goldfish and a canary when we were being truly horrid.

Mama always told us we would be looking for our eyeballs. This was so funny to me because if my eyeballs are out, how can I look for them? LOL!

My grandmother would always tell me she was going to knock me to Do Wa Ditty. Where is that exactly?
