"What were we thinking?"
My Dad to my Mom - anytime 1 of the 3 of us did something really egregious. I suspect it had something to do with the circumstances of our births.

It's been many, many years since my parents passed, but some things you never forget.
Me: Johnny rides his bicycle to school.
Mom: If Johnny jumped off a bridge would you?
Could never see the correlation, but....
Now Pop was a bit more colorful. I still have a tendency to quote him from time to time.
"Everything works out in the end."
My favorite to this day: "Opinions are like a$$holes, we all have one."

My grandfather had a lot of sayings about a lot of things. Most of them I can't post here. One that I remember was his reply to a very straight-laced female member of the family who was complaining about the pain she had recently experienced in giving birth. My grandfather said, very dryly, totally deadpan, and with his heavy Downeast accent, "Ayuh. They go in a lot easier than they come out."

My dad would say, "I don't give a rat's ass."
Also, "Easy come, easy go."
He said those mostly when he was older and on into Alzheimer's, especially "Easy come, easy go."

it seems I may have heard on more than a single occasion from my father " well you can't do it sitting on yer ass"
of course whenever objecting to household rules etc, " no one's forcing you to stay here, don't let the screen door hit you in the ass"
