don't come running to me if you break your leg

A humorous warning against dangerous activities or horseplay. Fine, skate there if you must—just don't come running to me if you break your leg! I warned you against that skateboard jump—what else can I do? Don't come running to me if you break your leg! I sometimes feel like all I do with my sons is scold their ridiculous stunts and tell them, "Don't come running to me if you break your leg!"
