There is a parental saying that is sometimes heard when a child is about to do something risky or naughty. The parent, with one hand on his or her hip and a pointing finger wagging in the child’s face, angrily declares, “If you get hurt, don’t come crying to me!”
Another father said this: “Run barefoot if you feel you must, but if you cut your foot open, please come crying to me.”
The saying actually came from the same father at different times. (Quoted from Joyce Kinmont)
