Close your head in and Stuff your face up

I got annoyed with BallFiend's persistent whining the other day and in the midst of my exasperation, after asking him to speak in a nice voice for the 20th time, I suddenly heard myself saying "Pull your head in."

Argh! Disturbing that I was channeling my father (that is one of the phrases he said to me when I was growing up), but it was worth it just to hear BallFiend's interpretation later that night when DeepSpice got home:

"Dad, close your head in! Just close it!"

A few day prior to this, I had made a passing remark about how DeepSpice was 'stuffing his face' (whilst eating his lunch).

This one was later reinterpreted as "Dad, stuff your face up!", which had both DeepSpice and me in fits of laughter.
