My Mom

I think of my Mother often even more so this week with the observance of Mothers Day. I wonder what she was thinking as she looked at me? Here are just a few of the things that every Mother teaches her children

1 APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE "If you are going to kill each other, do it outside, I just cleaned"
2 RELIGION "you better pray that will come out of the carpet"
3 TIME TRAVEL "if you don't straighten up, I am going to knock you into the middle of next week"
4 LOGIC "because I said so"
5 FORESIGHT "make sure you wear clean underwear, in case your in an accident"
6 IRONY "keep crying and I will give you something to cry about"
7 STAMINA "you will sit there till all that spinach is gone"
8 WEATHER "this room of yours looks like a tornado went through it"
9 HYPOCRISY "if I told you once, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate"
10 CIRCLE OF LIFE "I brought you into this world and I can take you out"
11 BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION "stop acting like your father"
12 ENVY "there are million of children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do"
13 ANTICIPATION "just wait till we get home"
14 RECEIVING "you are going to get it when you get home"
15 MEDICAL SCIENCE "if you don't stop crossing your eyes , they'll freeze that way"
16 ESP "put your sweater on, I know you will be cold"
17 HUMOR " when that lawnmower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me"
18 HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT "if you don't eat your vegetables you will never grow up"
19 GENETICS "you are just like your father"
20 WISDOM "when you get to be my age, you will understand"
