How many of these statement were common in your home when you were a child.

Things My Mother Taught Me
MY mother taught me to appreciate a JOB WELL DONE : If you're going to kill each other, do it out side. I just finished cleaning in here.
My mother taught me LOGIC : Because I said so, that's why.
My mother taught me FORESIGHT : Wear clean underwear in case you're in an accident.
My mother taught me IRONY : Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about.
My mother taught me 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 STAMINA : You'll sit there till that spinach is gone.
My mother taught me about the WEATHER : This room looks like a Tornado went through it.
My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY : If I told you once I told you a million times don't exaggerate.
My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION : Stop acting like your Father.
My mother taught me about ENVY : There are millions of children less fortunate than you who don't have the wonderful parents you have.
My mother taught me ANTICIPATION : Wait till your father gets home.
My mother taught me about RECEIVING : You're going to get it when we get home.
My mother taught me about MEDICAL SCIENCE : If you don't stop crossing your eyes they're going to freeze like that.
My mother taught me about HUMOUR : Don't come to me when you cut you toes off with that lawn mower.
My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT : If you don't eat that all up, you'll never grow up.
My mother taught me about my ROOTS : Shut that door Do you think we live in a barn?
My mother taught me WISDOM : When you get to be my age you'll understand.
My mother taught me JUSTICE : I hope one day you have kids and they turn out just like you.

I used to tell my kids about "Boomerangs" They'll come back and hit you where it counts. One day one of my boys asked about Karma. Is that like a boomerang? Kind of. With a boomerang most of the time you can see it coming. Karma you never know when it's coming.
This is great ! AND I for one think these old ways of parenting need to be re-instated ! I work in a busy ER and I know I must be getting old when I can barely tolerate how horribly misbehaved some children are . I get hit, kicked , spit on etc , and the parents just let it happen ! I had an 11 year old spit her medicine on me TWICE the other night , mom says awwww please take your medicine ! I somehow don't think this girl has heard these ! OK sorry I could really rant here LOL.
