Billy,

Not quite true.

His mother reminded Thumper of something that his father 
would say.  Sure it comes with authority, but I consider this a 
"throw away" line as you usually waste more time trying to get 
the little bunny to remember his manners by remembering 
something his father said about his manners.

His father used several expressions plus another saying for 
something else. Still more effective than his mother's choice 
which was always just a "THUMPER!"  Something his father will 
not do.

Brian
