Ten common vocalizations of the mater domesticum (aka mommy)

The following findings were from a household in Camillus, NY:

1. Time to get up
This vocalization is mainly observed in the morning and is usually voiced in a low sing-songy voice. It has been noted that the tone of this phrase will increase in speed and volume as the morning goes on and in the case of drawn out exchanges will be followed by the "NOW!" or "We're going to be LATE!" pattern.

2. Did you wash your hands
Commonly heard throughout the day but most often prior to meals. Usually spoken with an eyebrow raised or a hand on the hip or both

3. Please put your pants on
The tone and urgency of this phrase varies greatly depending on both the presence of other humans and their relationship to the offspring.

4. Put your shoes on are your shoes on get your shoes on...where are your shoes...get them oooon. 
This repetitive pattern can vary slightly but is heard whenever subjects are exiting their domicile without fail.

5. Get that out of your mouth
As with "please put your pants on," the tone, urgency and body language expressed with this phrase varies depending on what item is being consumed by the offspring.

6. When's the last time you pooped
Often heard when offspring complains of a stomach ache

7. Keep your hands to yourself
Interestingly this can be heard during incidents involving other humans and/or inanimate objects.  As a general rule the other humans are friends or siblings of the offspring and the inanimate objects are extremely fragile and expensive.

8. What is wrong with you
Now this phrase, depending on the household, can often be followed by, "you clearly get that from your father."

9. Don't do that you are going to get hurt
Following this the offspring will ignore the vocalization and continue the behavior that should be avoided.  Most often disaster ensues and a great loud crying episode is heard from the offspring.

10. I love you.  Goodnight.
Often the last vocalization of the day the offspring will usually receive a hug and a kiss and get tucked into bed.  On the chance that this is not the last vocalization of the day as decided by the offspring, it will be followed by a barrage of phrases such as "Get back in bed" "Go back to sleep" and on especially late nights a booming "I SAID GOOOOOD NIIIIIIGHT!!!!"

After the offspring is sleeping it has been continually observed that the mater domesticum will relax on the couch with a glass of wine before falling asleep hoarse and exhausted.
