("If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me!")

("Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident.") or... ("I gave birth to you, so I know what you are going to do as you wag your tail") or... ("continue shaking your legs and you will have a bad future") in a Chinese way? "Yan yiu fook bok shue yiu yip lok"
