Many times people say things that have been passed down through the years. However, many times they say them, with no idea what the saying means, or they say it in such a way, that the listener doubts the validity or the honesty of the quote,  Here are some of my favorite worn out cliches, and stupid sayings. For most of them, I have sarcastic comments in () after the quote

"This will hurt me, more than it does you"  (did any kid really buy it?)

"When you point a finger, you have three more pointing back at you"

"I want to teach you the value of a dollar." (btw the dollar is worth 13.2 Mexican pesos.) ( make sure before using this one, you hide the credit card statement, showing you owe them thousands)

"We are all God's children" (Hate to break it to you, but we aren't)

"Respect must be earned" (except you must show me respect, after all I am your parent)

"It's the thought that counts" ( I was too busy to buy you something)

What is your favorite cliche?
