Everyone's old man has said something like 'Money doesn't grow on trees'.  One more that is more common than the rhetorical is 'Do you think I'm made of money?', which topped the list of father's best-loved phrases.


Other father phrases are:
     When I was your age...
     You're not going out in that...
     You don't know you're born
     Don't talk back to your mother
