Dads. What are your go-to 'parent phrases'? (self.dads)

Since I became a father some 5.5 years ago, I've realised that I've rather quickly turned into the sort of person who tells my children that 'silly games, silly prizes' and 'want doesn't mean get'.

I'm not sure I can pinpoint the exact moment this change occurred, but it did, and now I guess I'm stuck in this hell. The question is, am I stuck in it on my own, or are there more of us?

Since my kids are old enough, I have a habit of saying in a sing-songy voice, “sounds like a google search to meeee”.

There’s also:
You get what you get and you don’t get upset.
Move your meat, lose your seat.

I honestly hate it when I ask something to somebody I know knows the answer and they tell you to Google it

Me too, but I'm talkin' about stuff here like, 'who was Kida's voice actress in Atlantis: The Lost Empire' or 'Which Power Puff Girls episode had the space alien broccoli dudes'

Lol! That's very fair

It's cute, because now, years later, it's almost a competition in the family chat as to who can google the answer to a factoid that comes up the fastest.

Ours is "you get what you get and don't throw a fit." yours rhymes better.
