Print Everything My Mother Taught Me
"A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary."-Dorothy Fisher
My Mother taught me LOGIC - "If you fall off that swing and break your neck, you can't go to the store with me."
My Mother taught me MEDICINE - "If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they're going to freeze that way."
My Mother taught me ESP - "Put your sweater on; don't you think that I know when you're cold?"
My Mother taught me TO MEET A CHALLENGE - "What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you . . . Don't talk back to me!"
My Mother taught me HUMOUR - "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me."
My Mother taught me PATIENCE - "Sure, you can do that. As soon as you're 21 and leave the house!"
My Mother taught me DIPLOMACY - "I don't want to hear who started it. It takes two to fight."
My Mother taught me SHARING - "Play nicely with that or I'll just take it away from both of you."
My Mother taught me ETIQUETTE - "Use your fork! If I see that hand on the table again, I'll slap it!"
But most of all, My Mother taught me LOVE - "You know that whatever you do or whatever happens, I'll stand behind you because I love you."
