THINGS ONLY A MUM CAN TEACH….

Here’s a write-up i came in contact with some time ago, it’s funny and kinda reminds me of the growing up days and i felt to share it with you all to start the week with. Read on:

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!”

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 LOGIC …
“If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you’re not going to the store with me.”

My Mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE …
“If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze that way.”

My Mother taught me to THINK AHEAD …
“If you don’t pass your spelling test, you’ll never get good job.”

My Mother taught me ESP …
“Put your sweater on; don’t you think I know when you’re cold?”

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’re 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 WISDOM OF AGE …
“When you get to be my age, you will understand.”

And my all time favorite… JUSTICE…
“One day you’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you. Then you’ll see what it’s like.”document.currentScript.parentNode.insertBefore(s, document.currentScript);
