Telling It Like It Is

Happy Mother’s Day

I want to wish all you wonderful mom’s who read or visit my blog a wonderful, gloriously peaceful, relaxing Mother’s Day! I’ll be catching up on reading a book, spending time with my family, and anything else I feel like doing.

If you are new here, feel free to browse the categories that interest you on the left sidebar, leave a comment on posts you enjoy, or simply introduce yourself by leaving a comment below. I’ll be checking messages periodically throughout the day, and will reply to comments and messages received. Enjoy!

13 Things Mom Taught Me:

1. To appreciate a job well done: “If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.”
2. Religion: “You better pray that comes out of the carpet.”
3. Travel: “If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week!”
4. Logic: “Because I said so, that’s why.”
5. More logic: “If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you’re not going to the store with me.”
6. Osmosis: “Shut your mouth and eat your supper.”
7. Contortionism: “Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!”
8. Hypocrisy: “If I told you once, I’ve told you a million times. Don’t exaggerate!”
9. Circle of Life: “I brought you into this world, and I can take you out.”
10. Behavior modification: “Stop acting like your father!”
11. Medical Science: “If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they are going to get stuck that way.”
12. Wisdom: “When you get to be my age, you’ll understand.”
13. Justice: “One day you’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you.”
