By popular demand (2 readers) I have posted more failed attempts at creating the perfect family motto. (Original post here) These were born out of an honest attempt to come up with a real one, but it is so much easier to come up with bad ones.
(I had to save seats at a HS function and I had 30 minutes to kill with nothing but an iPhone, and I’m tired of Angry Birds)
(Yes, as a matter of fact I do have a scripture app. What is your point?)
SORRY, BUT I HAD TO REMOVE THESE AS OF 11/11/12.
Something about freeing the cows so they can drink milk. I don’t completely understand dairy metaphors.

Family’s can be together forever…except for uncle fred, he’s on his own.
I read one, though I’m not sure it’s a family motto:
This too shall pass (then in small print) … like a kidney stone.
Even better than the first ones! I can’t even decide which one I like best!
I’ve always wanted to get vinyl lettering on my wall that says, “sit down and shut up! It’s time for family prayer!”
Lol! Love it! I think I am going to have to come back later and pin all of these.
This is a test …it is only a test! I loved the post, my motto is “There’s a giggle in every minute if you find the joy within it!
Oh, wait–see, it did sabotage me! Now it looks like I clearly don’t know what the meaning of Incognito is, since I told you my name. Incognito is my other blog.
Oh . . . They’re so true, they hurt . . .
(Janette Rallison because your blog never lets me post blogs unless I do it anonymously–but wait, because I wrote that here, this time it will let me post.
That’s so funny; I totally read “united”. That’s my favorite.
Oh, I like Linda’s above. Though having lived through my teenagers would not be much use now.
These are all very good, I needed a laugh.
Regan: Wonderful story!
I feel your pain. Years ago I tried to get the family to create a motto. At the time my husband was a non-member and didn’t see the point in such an exercise. My children had absolutely no interest in any of it and complained throughout the whole FHE. I was yelling at everybody so we could have a spiritual experience and they wouldn’t stop. I was annoyed and yelling for them to stop goofing off. My husband was amused. He laughed and said, “Butlers don’t quit.” PERFECT. It has been our family motto for about 20 years. It works. When he joined the church we thought about giving it some class with “Butlers endure to the end”. It just seemed too hoity-toity so we stuck with the original. Thank heavens it’s our last name too!
lol. Ugh spiders. They are DEFINITELY fair game.
LOL! All of these would work in my family. Loved ’em!
Love it. Especially the ‘protect each other, from each other.’
The sequel is better than the first. Very nice. Thanks for the laugh
How about “I hate you. Give me a hug before bed.”?
I think you have a future at Hallmark, MAMM!

each one is funnier than the next! my son just turned 17 so I am leaning toward adopting the motto “Return with Honor…by 11:30”
