15 Funny mom HUGOT lines you probably heard growing up!

4 min read

Though it pains us to see our beloved moms upset or sad, there are times when they’re just too adorably funny without even realizing it. Here are some hugot lines you most likely heard from your own mom over the years! (Some of these you may have said to your own kids!)

Relatable hugot lines that we often hear from moms

1. “Papunta ka pa lang, pabalik na ‘ko.”

Don’t even try justifying your point, she’s not having it.

The phrase “Papunta ka pa lang, pabalik na ako,” which translates “You’re just on your way there, while I’m already on my way back” is an idiomatic expression in Tagalog that older people typically use to try to lecture younger people, telling them that they still have a lot of life to experience that older people have already experienced. The nearest equivalent in English is “Been there, done that.”

2. “Ubusin mo pagkain mo, madaming nagugutom sa kalye.”

It is just our mom’s way of reminding us how important it is not to waste food.  Don’t even try reasoning out with “kung kinain ko ba ‘to mabubusog sila?” unless you want to get a spanking.

via GIPHY

3. Hugot lines: “Aba sumasagot ka na ngayon? Wala ka nang respeto.”

It is commonly said by moms when they try to scold their children and their kids fights back. Usually preceded by “ano? Sumagot ka!”

Filipino mothers might be very unpredictable. They will first ask you to respond to their inquiries, but doing so is regarded as impolite.

via GIPHY

4. “Layas ka nang layas! Hindi kita pinagaral para maglakwatsa lang.”

It doesn’t matter if you’re in high school or working your first job, asking permission for an out-of-town trip requires the right timing.

via GIPHY

5. Hugot lines: “Ayan, diyan ka magaling! Manang mana ka sa tatay mo.”

Just say you’re sorry.

via GIPHY

6. “Noong bata ako sampung piso lang baon ko. Maswerte na nga kayo eh.”

This is typically followed by an adorable monologue about the good ol’ days.

via GIPHY

7. Hugot lines: “Anong akala mo sa ‘kin, tumatae ng pera?”

Though she wants to give the best for you, there are times when she minces no words when she lets you know that finances are tight.

via GIPHY

8. “Bahala ka sa buhay mo…”

She may seem upset, but she doesn’t mean it. Of course, she still cares what you do.

via GIPHY

9. Hugot lines: “Mami-miss niyo rin ako pagwala na ako.”

This form of lambing is usually preceded by a request for the entire family to go out, but everyone has other plans.

10. “Pag naging magulang ka, maiintindihan mo din ako…”

One day, you’ll get it. Just you wait.

Other funny mommy hugot lines

11. Whenever you have headache: “Kaka-computer mo ‘yan!”

12. When you are looking for something and cannot find it: ” Mata ang ginagamit sa paghahanap hindi ang bibig.”
