I OWE MY MOTHER

Recently on the Boomer Women Speaks forum my friend Queen JJ mentioned how fortunate she is to still have her mother to call up and speak to whenever she wants to. Many of the women there have lost their mothers. I too am one of the fortunate ones as my own mom is 90 years old and still clear headed and quite eager to share her ideas. That made me think of all I have to be thankful to my mother for because she taught my sibblings and myself her very own ideas of how to teach ones children. A few examples below...

MOTHER TAUGHT US TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE...
"If you're going to kill one another, do it outside, I just finished cleaning."

MOTHER TAUGHT US RELIGION...
"You better pray that will come out of the carpet."

MOTHER TAUGHT US ABOUT TIME TRAVEL...
"If you don't straighten up, I'll knock you into the middle of next week."

"Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."

"Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."
