Every mom has a unique way of expressing herself, and sometimes, her words can leave you in stitches. From classic one-liners to quirky phrases, here are 22 funny things moms say that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.
1. "Because I said so, that's why!"
Oh, the classic mom response when you question her authority. It's like a mom superpower - the ability to end any argument with those six simple words.
2. "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it!"
Well, that escalated quickly! Moms have a way of going from 0 to 100 in no time flat. Better watch out!
3. "Were you raised in a barn?"
When you forget to close the door behind you, don't be surprised if your mom hits you with this gem. No, mom, I wasn't raised in a barn, but thanks for asking.
4. "Money doesn't grow on trees, you know!"
Yes, mom, we know. But wouldn't it be nice if it did? We could all use a money tree in the backyard.
5. "Don't make me come in there!"
When you're being too loud in your room and your mom threatens to intervene, it's time to rethink your life choices. Mom means business.
6. "I have eyes in the back of my head."
Really, mom? That's impressive. Maybe you should consider joining the circus with that kind of talent.
7. "Close the door, you're letting all the bugs in!"
Because nothing ruins a perfectly good day like a house full of bugs. Thanks for looking out for us, mom.

8. "Do you think I'm made of money?"
Well, mom, you do seem to have an endless supply of snacks in your purse, so it's a fair question.
9. "If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?"
Let's hope not, mom. But hey, if they were all jumping into a pool on a hot day, maybe?
10. "Don't make that face, it'll freeze like that!"
Thanks for the warning, mom. We wouldn't want to walk around with a permanent stink face.
11. "I'm not sleeping, I'm just resting my eyes."
Sure, mom, whatever you say. We all know that "resting your eyes" is just a polite way of saying you're taking a nap.
12. "Were you raised by wolves?"
When you forget your manners, don't be surprised if your mom hits you with this one. Sorry, mom, we'll try to be more civilized next time.
13. "Don't make me count to three!"
Because we all know that things get real when mom starts counting. It's like a countdown to impending doom.
14. "I'm not just talking to hear myself speak, you know!"
But mom, sometimes it really seems like you are. We love you anyway.
15. "What part of 'no' don't you understand?"
Apparently, the part where we keep asking for things even after you've said no. Sorry, mom, we're a little slow on the uptake.
16. "Do you think this is a hotel?"
Well, mom, you do make the best breakfast in town, so it's easy to get confused.
17. "I'll give you something to cry about!"
Thanks, mom, but we're good. No need to escalate the situation any further.
18. "You'll understand when you're older."
Ah, the classic mom response when she doesn't feel like explaining something. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?
19. "Don't make me pull this car over!"
Because nothing strikes fear into the hearts of children like the threat of a roadside lecture. We'll behave, we promise.
20. "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed."
Ouch, mom. That one cuts deep. We'll try to be better next time.
21. "Do as I say, not as I do."
But mom, you're our role model! How can we not follow your lead?
22. "Because I'm the mom, that's why!"
