Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 In keeping with the upcoming Mother's Day... Things my mother taught me: Mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE - " If you're going kill each other, do it outside - I just finished cleaning! " My Mother taught me MEDICINE - " If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they're goin 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 HUMOUR - " When that lawn mower cuts off your toes because you don't have shoes on, 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 RELIGION - " You better pray that will come out of the carpet. " My mother taught me LOGIC - " Because I said so, that's why. " My mother taught me FORESIGHT - " Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident. " My mother taught me IRONY - " Keep laughing and I'll *give* you something to cry about. " My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS - " Shut your mouth and eat your supper! " My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM - " Will you *look* at the dirt on the back of your neck! " My mother taught me about WEATHER - " It looks as if a hurricane swept through your room.

" 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.
