My Mother Taught Me....

My mother taught me about my ROOTS.
"Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?"

My mother taught me GENETICS.
"You're just like your father."

My mother taught me about RECEIVING.
"You are going to get it when you get home!"

My mother taught me about ENVY.
"There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."

My mother taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE.
"I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."

 My mother taught me IRONY.
"Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."

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

My mother taught me RELIGION.
"You 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!"

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."

Those are only a few of the ones I "stole" from a link Katie gave me... Most of you (if you have a mother like mine) will have had these said to you/about you...I know I have had one said about me.
