Things that I Learned from My Mother
1. Sibling rivalry...Appreciate a job well done..."If you are going to kill each other, do it outside I just finished cleaning"
2. Religion...."You had better pray that stain will come out of the carpet"
3. Time Travel..."If you don't straighten up I will knock you into the middle of next week"
4. Science, the theory of Osmosis...."Shut your mouth and eat your supper"
5. Health, Stamina..."You sit there until all that spinach is gone" yeah right like that is going to happen in this lifetime
6. Birth, life and death..."I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it"
7. Inherent characteristics....Behavior modification "Stop acting like your father"
8. Weather..."Your room looks like a tornado went through it"... (She had to be talking about my son)
9. Anticipation..."You just wait until we get home"
10. Wisdom...."Honey when you get to be my age you will understand"
and the best one that she ever taught me
11. Justice...."One day you will have kids, and I pray to God that they turn out just like you"
Just remember that they are our children, we did bring them into to this world and if there is any justice out there they will have kids of their own to justify every gray hair and sleepless night that they bestowed upon us. Kiss your kid because they won't always be young....
