I thought yours was "Immigrants remittances are foreign aid." Oh, well.
Another working class family here. Ours was, "Don't worry about it." Said about all kinds of things but especially about housekeeping. Particularly the boys' rooms. |

Speaking of working class families...
Motto #1: Everyone in my family to my brother: Your brother still in Seoul? Yeah? How's he like China?
Motto #2: Everyone in my family to me when I visit: Hey, howyadoin' flottie. How's your Japanese? |

Our family didn't have one, but my mom did and it was similar to yours.
"Take out the garbage, pronto!"
"Make your bed, pronto."
"Turn off the TV and go to bed, pronto." |
