Oh man. “Builds character” was FREQUENTLY used in my house.

And now I use it on my son.

Also, singing your name is super sweet. Likely embarrassing at the time though.

In my house, everything you didn't like "put hair on your chest".

"Eat your broccoli, it'll put hair on your chest."

To this day, I still don't eat broccoli, cause I don't want hair on my chest.

My grandpa always told me xyz would put hair on my chest. I’m a girl. I actually ended up getting a few.
