Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 4 Years of Age: My Mommy can do anything! 8 Years of Age: My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot! 12 Years of Age: My Mother doesn't really know quite everything. 14 Years of Age: Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either. 16 Years of Age: Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned. 18 Years of Age: That old woman? She's way out of date! 25 Years of Age: Well, she might know a little bit about it. 35 Years of Age: Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion. 45 Years of Age: Wonder what Mom would have thought about it? 65 Years of Age: Wish I could talk it over with Mom. Things My Mother Taught Me 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 TO THINK AHEAD... " If you don't pass your spelling test, you'll never get a good job! " 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 HUMOR... " When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, 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 SEX... " How do you think you got here? " 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 about RECEIVING... " You are going to get it when we get home. " My mother taught me abotu JUSTICE... " One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU - then you'll see what it's like. " You've Turned Into A Mom When: You automatically double-knot everything you tie. You find yourself humming the Barney song as you do the dishes. You hear a baby cry in the grocery store, and you start to gently sway back and forth, back and forth. However, your children are at school! You actually start to like the smell of strained carrots mixed with applesauce. You weep through the scene in Dumbo when his mom is taken away, not to mention what Bambi does to you. You get soooo into crafts you contemplate writing a book called 101 Fun Crafts to do with Dryer Lint and Eggshells. You spend a half hour searching for your sunglasses only to have your teenager say, " Mom, why don't you wear the ones you pushed up on your head? " You are out for a nice romantic meal with your husband, enjoying some real adult conversation, when suddenly you realize that you've reached over and started to cut up his steak!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Things My Mother Taught Me [Dave:] My mom was a smart lady. She insisted that I learn to cook, to mend, and to iron. I hated that growing up, but it made me more self-sufficient in those departments than most men. She also insisted that my two sisters know how to change a tire and the oil in the car. She’s been gone since 1978, and I still miss her.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Oh LORD.... I recognized having said or done at least 90% of the bottom. Right now with the top part I'm experiencing the 14/16 year old (she's only 13 but advanced for her age! ROFL) the 12 year old, 4 year old and 8 year old perceptions..... quite the schitziod I feel at times, wobbling between knowing everything and being too stupid to breathe without written instructions! ROFL! K On 5/12/07, Butch Owen <butchbsi wrote: > > . > > > -- Cheers! Kathleen Petrides The Woobey Queen Http://www.woobeyworld.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
