Welcome

A Day for Mom

My Mother taught me many things.

My Mother taught me LOGIC...
"If you fall off that swing and break your neck, you can't go to the store with me.

My Mother taught me MEDICINE...
"If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they're going to freeze that way."

My Mother taught me TO THINK AHEAD...
"If you don't pass your spelling test, you'll never get a good job!"

My Mother taught me ESP...
"Put your sweater on; don't you think that I know when you're cold?"

My Mother taught me TO MEET A CHALLENGE...
"What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you...Don't talk back to me!"

My Mother taught me HUMOR...
"When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me."

My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT...
"If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up."

My mother taught me about GENETICS...
"You are just like your father!"

My mother taught me about my ROOTS...
"Do you think you were born in a barn?"

My mother taught me about the WISDOM of AGE...
"When you get to be my age, you will understand."

My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION...
"Just wait until your father gets home."

My mother taught me about RECEIVING...
"You are going to get it when we get home."

and my all time favorite thing- JUSTICE
"One day you will have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU...then you'll see what its like."

Oh my, so funny. Does that bring back memories. The last one my mom use to say, One day you'll have kids & they will be twice as bad as you were. Boy was she right. lol And this one "TO MEET A CHALLENGE..." with a slap to the face.
Very nicely stated. up

God bless your mother. You sound like a handful.

WOW! I hear echoes of myself talking to my kids in some of those! Especially the first one.
I used to tell my son if he didn't brush his teeth, they would fall out, one day he would bend over to pick something up and... clink, clink, clink, they would fall out on the floor. He bought it, but it was really driven home when he saw the neighbor's kid (age 6) with her two front teeth missing. He's been a fanatic about it ever since and has beautiful teeth!
