My instructor said "I have control." Unusual, I thought, but I gave him control. "I just want to taxy us back to the holding point" he said. Why? "Because I'm going to get out, and you're going to do a circuit by yourself."
I also remember the last words of the instructor who taught me to fly tail-draggers properly, before signing me off to fly his PA18s. "If I sign you off," he said, "will you promise not to break it?"
Personally, when I send students solo, I always tell them to "enjoy it" or "have fun".
