Broken Yiddish

Nonkinsense, we're tired of your self indulgent, product placing, advertising seeking, cynical, manipulative, ways. Give us your Broken Yiddish that you know not well:

1-Blut iz diker fun vaser. (Blood is thicker than water)
2-Vi der tate, azoy der zun. (Like father, like son) (I hope that's the meaning)
3-Kleyne kinder loznnit shlofn; groyse kinder lozn nit ruen (Small children don't let you sleep; big children don't let you rest.)
4-Vos iz eygn iz balibt. (One's own is beloved.)
5-Di vos vaksn nit, vern kleyner (Those who do not grow, grow smaller)
