A few things Filipino parents commonly tell their kids (at least when I was a kid)
1. "Naku linisin mo yung sugat, lalabas diyan ang tren!" - Let's clean your wound or the train will go out from there
2. "Liliparin ka ng kuto" - Your lice will fly you away from home
3. "Pag di ka nag siesta kukunin ka ng bumbay" - Indians will come to get you if you don't take a nap! (At the time, Indians are known for lending money and collecting debts door-to-door, and parents often scare their kids that they come to get children)
Thanks for the A2A
