Dad: "Avoid the passive voice!!!!!!!!!" (As he read my high school essays and early literary efforts.)
Grandpa: "What are you dressed as?" (Indicating that he disapproved of one's fashion choice for that day)
Mom: "That's dinner" (To any complaints that the menu was unsatisfactory)
Grandma: "Now, if you always . . . " (Did something you almost never did like empty the dryer as soon as it stopped, put your keys in the same place everyday, did your homework as soon as you got home---life would be better all 'round.)
Aunt M. "Always leave the house looking fantastic because you never know when you'll meet a new boyfriend." (Also apparently works when meeting old boyfriends as she is now dating a guy she dated briefly in college 40+ years ago.)
Russian Grandma: "I theenk if you looook in zat meedle drawer in zee china cabinet . . . ." (When my Mom had confiscated the bags of candy she had brought for me so that I would not eat them all at once and make myself sick)
