Wowza! Two quotes in one week!

So, I have this saying:

"If you are doing something you shouldn't be doing, somebody always gets hurt."

I've been saying it since Kid #1 was little and would get hurt. It was my way of not overreacting to "all" of her complaints, ouchies, tattle-telling and so forth. 

She would come to me and say something like, "I hurt my knee climbing on the kitchen counter-top." And I would say, "Well, that's too bad. Are you okay? Yes? Well, you know you shouldn't be climbing on the counter-tops. And what do I always say? 'If you are doing something you shouldn't be doing, somebody always gets hurt' right? And she would reply with a dismal 'yes.'"

As time went, and more kids were added, it has been said over and over again. 

Sometimes I start it out, "If you're doing something...."

And the kids finish it..."you shouldn't be doing, somebody always gets hurt." ...sometimes in unison. 

So, again I searched the web for this quote. And again I got nothing. Well, nothing on the first page. :)

So, you see, my second quote in one week. I am on my way to being published. Lol.

"I'm nothing if not loyal" -Melissa Schanz

"I'm nothing, if not loyal." -Melissa Schanz. 

I searched and searched on the Internet for someone who said this quote before me, and I did not find anyone. 

So I'm claiming the quote as my own. 

I did however, find that on the movie 'The Emperor's New Grove' there is a quote from Yzma (the crazy lady who wants the emperor dead) to Kuzco (the emperor) that goes "But...but your highness, I have been nothing if not loyal to your highness for many many years." 

So, you see, not the same. 

Therefore, the quote belongs to me. 

If anyone needs to use it in the future, please give credit where it is due. 

And if anyone finds someone else that said it first, please do not let me know. Because, frankly, I did not look past page one on Google. I mean, who looks past page one?!?!
