Things that our Mom TAUGHT us...

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

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

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

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

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

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

BECOME AN ADULT... "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up.

GENETICS... "You are just like your father!"

ROOTS... "Do you think you were born in a barn?"

WISDOM of AGE... "When you get to be my age, you will understand."

ANTICIPATION... "Just wait until your father gets home."

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 it's like."
