Mom is the most important person in the world. She not only gave birth to us, she is a helper, a friend, a doctor, a consultant, a helper and… a pain!

She can be so lovely until the moment we follow her rules… As soon as we pass the “border line” she will come out with some expressions that we are sure to remember for a lifetime!

Do you want to know the most common expressions that you could hear coming out of a Colombian mother?

Today, on the day dedicated to all of them, we gave them something of this expression that most Colombians know very well from an early age!

- "One of these days they get up and they won't find me, and see what they do…."

(One of these days you will wake up and I 'won't be here, and let's see what you all gonna do….)

"As here you have the 'serrrrvienta' who does everything for you"

(Here you have the serrrrrrvant that does everything!) - VERY SARCASTIC MEANING!

 "Everything that I have sacrificed for you and look how they pay one"

(I sacrifice myself for you, and look what you do….) STILL SARCASTIC….

- " Is that the example you are setting for your brothers? "

(is this the example that you give to your brother?)

"How many children are not wanting that plate of food and you are rejecting it?"

(Do you know how many kids would love to eat your food and you're just refusing to eat!)…

- "As long as you live in this house, whatever I say is done "

(Until when you will live in this house, you will do what I say!) I GUESS THSI IS AN EVER GREEN FOR THE MUMS OF ALL THE WORLD!

- "You guys are going to drive me crazy! "

(You're gonna drive me crazy!)

- "I don't like that friendship "

(I don't like your friends!)… YEARS LATER WILL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND TO SAY THE SAME WORDS, CAREFUL!

- "What do you think this is a hotel? "

(Do you think that this house is a hotel?) ANOTHER EVER GREEN OF EVERY MUM!

- "Do not answer me or raise your voice because I bust that chewing machine "

(Do not talk me back and do not raise your voice with me, because I will transform your face in a mask)… THEY CAN BE QUITE SCARY SOMETIMES….!

- "Why do they ask me if they are going to do the opposite?

(Why do you ask me if you will do the opposite?)

- "Mijo, are you eating well? "

(My son, are you eating properly?)

- “Is that he is just like his dad"

(You are the same as your father) THE FATHER MIGHT SAY THE SAME ABOUT THE MOTHER!

- “What are they going to do the day I die, who is going to do everything to them ... "

(What you gonna do the day I will die? Who gonna do everything?)… .JUST EXPECT THE WORST, ALWAYS!

- "Why isn't my cell phone answering?"

(Why are you not answering at the phone?)… YES, WHY? WHY?

"Is that what they teach you at school?"

(Is this what they teach you at school?)

- "I told him… !"

(I told you…) IF SHE TOLD YOU, FOR SURE IT WILL HAPEN, BE CAREFUL!

"Because I am his mother, period!"

(Because I'm your mum, and that's it!) DON'T EVEN TRY TO ASK WHY, SHE WILL HAVE THE REASON AND THAT'S IT!

- "What language do I have to speak to you in?"

(In which language do I have to speak to you?)… MAYBE SPANISH WOULD BE GOOD NOW!

Happy Mother's Day to all the beloved moms around the world! We love you even when you stress us thousands of miles away!
