[QUOTE=lillybeck;3027751]..."Clean your plate because there are hungry kids overseas"[QUOTE]
My mother said something similar...."Clean your plate because there are starving children in China!" I never understood it, but it worked.

I will add a few other I have heard to these ...
I feel like a one legged man at a sack race
Slicker than an owl’s butt
“For the Love”
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me
A Day late and dollar short
Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

Mom would send me to get canned goods(beans, peaches,meat, ect) from the basement. I'd come back saying I couldn't find it. She would send me back saying "Look with your eyes open!" If she had to come get it "It's right in front of your face. Or "So close it could bite."
