LESSONS FROM MOM

 

I get a lot of those sweet stories about moms, but this one is pretty funny. I thought you might like a "Light" funny read for Mom's Day!

My mother taught me to appreciate a job well done:
"If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning."

"You'd better pray that will come out of the carpet."

My mother taught me about time travel:
"If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"

"Because I said so, that's why."

My mother taught me more logic:
"If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."

My mother taught me foresight:
"Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."

My mother taught me irony:

"This room of yours looks as if a tornado went through it."

"There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."

My mother taught me about anticipation:
"Just you wait until we get home!"

Most important, my mother taught me about justice:
