My friend **tanookie** has lots of these. Usually addressed to her daughter, who has a propensity for mischief.

“Do NOT color the cat.”  
“Don’t climb the refrigerator!”  
“Putting pennies in your nose is bad.”  
and so forth…things you only hear when talking to a toddler.

NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT YOUR VAGINA! I forget who said it, but it was awful funny, and now I am always prepared, and I never leave home without my vagina 😉
