A Mother's Logic

[Kymberley]

WHAT MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME!


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!"

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

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

My mother taught me IRONY - "Keep laughing and I'll *give* you something to cry about."

My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS - "Shut your mouth and eat your supper!"

My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM - "Will you*look* at the dirt on the back of your neck!"

My mother taught me about STAMINA - "You'll sit there 'til all that spinach is finished!"

My mother taught me about WEATHER - "It looks as if a tornado swept through your room."

My mother taught me how to solve PHYSICS PROBLEMS - "If I yelled because I saw a meteor coming toward you; would you listen then?"

My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY - "If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - Don't exaggerate!!!"

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

My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION - "Stop acting like your father!"

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

And didn't we all swear we'd never say these things to our kids. I've already used this one with my nephew and of course he gave me the same answer back, "But why?"

In my house... I just tell the boys, "It is the Mommy Rules and since I am the Mommy, I MAKE THE RULES."

"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!"

OMG! If I had a dollar for every time I heard this one, I'd be rich!!

My mother taught me LOGIC: "Because I said so, that's why."

My mom was the QUEEN of 'Because I Said So', which was usually followed by I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"

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

I STILL hear this one, to this day!

My mother taught me IRONY - "Keep laughing and I'll *give* you something to cry about."

Heard this one too!

My mother taught me about STAMINA - "You'll sit there 'til all that spinach is finished!"

This was usually liver...ew!

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

This was my stepfather, although he didn't 'bring us into this world', he was married to my mom which authorized him to say it, I guess.

I hope I don't say this stuff to my kids, I'm sure I will though!
