WASHINGTON – This Sunday is Mother’s Day and in honor of moms everywhere, WTOP is remembering those “momilies” that are coming back to haunt you.

  • “Use the bathroom whether you need to or not!”
  • “This is going to hurt me a lot more than it’s going to hurt you!”
  • “Close the door, we’re not trying to air condition the neighborhood.”
  • “I hope you grow up and have a kid that does to you what you did to me.”
  • “So if your best friend said ‘I’m going to drive off a cliff,’ you’re going to drive off a cliff?”
  • “You keep living because you’re going to get there one day.”
  • “You’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’!”
  • “Be sure to have clean underwear on because you never know when you’re going to be in an accident.”
