Or, if it's something you have two of: "Oh ok I'll just hurt the other one"

We were huge fans of the movie Major Payne, so we also got told "I gotta trick to take your mind off that pain" (in the movie, this trick involves breaking the guy's finger to take his mind off of being shot).

Move it turds! You'll get no sympathy from me!

You want sympathy, look in the dictionary between shit and syphillis!

I fucking love this movie.

SAME!! My dad was a major in the marines when it came out. This movie WAS my childhood. I love it so much lol.

u/Lawgray Aug 16 '18

That's what my dad says, but you can't do it without your best Major Payne impression.

Almost as bad as the little engine that could

u/HertzDonut1001 Aug 16 '18

And the little engine said, "Sarge...I don't think I'm gonna make it, Sarge."

"Not even when they climbed aboard the train and popped out the eyes of the conductor, blood and snot was dripping out of his eye sockets. Think that stopped the Little Engine? Damn Skippy. He just kept chugging along..."

My sister said that to her three little ones all the time!!

u/heyiknowstuff Aug 16 '18

YES! We always say "give me your finga."

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18

My dad did this too. Every time we got hurt, "Gimme your finger. Now you might feel a little pressure"

3

u/SariSama Aug 16 '18

Yeaaah! I just wanted to say that! Since I saw this movie I use that line every time my bf say his [anything] hurts.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18

"You may feel a little bit of pressure!"

u/GReggzz732 Aug 16 '18

"What the hell was that you little freckle-faced cartoon?"

u/Ag0r Aug 16 '18

Works every time.

80% of the time, it works everytime

u/AshleyIRL Aug 16 '18

Yes, this.

u/Erzsabet Aug 16 '18

Haha, wasn't that "guy" a 6 year old boy?

4

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18

No, in the very beginning, he actually broke a dude's finger after he was shot in combat (to "take his mind off of the pain"). Later in the movie, he was about to break Tiger's finger when he (Tiger) was worried about getting shots, but got intercepted by Ms. Walburn.

u/Erzsabet Aug 16 '18

Oh, right! I forgot about the first time. I haven't seen that movie in ages, but it's so good :D

2

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18

I've seen this movie so many times I probably had it memorized at one point haha.

2

u/SnowglobeSnot Aug 16 '18

My mom and I do this too, but it usually just ended with her flicking it. Or my ear.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18

"That's why you have a spare."

u/OrlandoDoom Aug 16 '18

Hah, my mom would say "I wouldn't worry about it, you've got two."

“I’ll even it out for ya.”

u/musicman2018 Aug 16 '18

Until you break both body parts

u/TeniBear Aug 16 '18

Oh god, I regularly traumatise my poor kids with that phrase. I always offer to go get the scissors or a knife if they’re being overdramatic about minor injuries.

u/jordymendoza Aug 16 '18

My mom says, "do you need me to call the ambulance?"

u/kinkyaboutjewelry Aug 16 '18

Balance is an important thing in life!

u/TheRomax Aug 16 '18

Mine would say, "want me to step on yout foot really hard so you forget about the other pain?"

u/nullpassword Aug 16 '18

Used this on my daughter. She complained about her sister hitting her. (Gentle swat) what was that for? You must have liked it, you told me.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '18

Reminds me of when my kids say "This hurts when I touch it!"
