And here’s a really weird one from my neighbor’s mother: “If you wash blankets in May, you’ll wash family away.”

As it got me intrigued
I asked Uncle Google

Washing blankets in May is a tradition associated with bad luck,
with folklore suggesting it will
"wash one of the family away".

This superstition is found in various cultures, including British and Irish traditions.

Practically,
the best time to wash blankets depends on how often they are used and the material,
rather than the month.

Hmmm...
This is the 1st time I hear this superstition.

How about "stop crying or I'll give you something to really cry about"

ETA: When we were not shutting the door fast enough, "what do you think we live in a barn"

 

[Stunned]

"Wait till your Dad gets home"

 

[Megnut]

"Were you born in a basement and never brought up?"

 

[Megnut]

"Don't make me stop this car."

 

[angelainwi]

"Santa is watching"

 

[TootsieFootsie]

In the car.
I thought I told you to go before we left.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

"Santa is watching"

Santa would get arrested these days, just saying

 

[Dotta]

"Santa is watching"

"What will he bring you?
A stick or a ??"

I had never heard of it before my friend told me about it, but she’s a firm believer. Rather than wash a dirty blanket in May, she’s been known to go out and buy new ones.

What? No coal?

 

[Dotta]

What? No coal?

Nope.

This ( the picture ) is for naughty children in my country

In Polish it is "Rózga"

I was a good girl

I was a pretty smart kid, I realised that it was all about how it looked to others.

And I thought I want clean underwear all the time for my own sake, for how it made me feel.
Others didn't enter my head, it was for me.

Did anyone go to school and realise their parents had taught them words for things, and that none of the other kids used those words.

And later when I could read I discovered it was not only the other kids who didn't use those words, I was never able to find anyone else ever using them apart from our family

I can’t find a translation from Polish to English. But I got coal every single year.

Not words as much as expressions. We were big into eye rolls.
