My Mamma Always Told Me...

Forrest Gump's mother told him: "Life is like a box of chocolates... ." My own mother told me: "Honey child, there's a thin line between love and hate." What words of wisdom did your mother or loved one impress upon you? Anyone?

[peacebaby]

yes, I do know what you mean, and thinking about it, encouraging a child's argumentive nature encourages a child's thinking and reasoning, I guess.

[Dashing Dasher]

It's better than whacking them in the head - or that's what Dr. Phil says.


;-)

PS... how old is the lawyer in training?

[peacebaby]

17 - that's my daughter.

49 - that's my husband.

my niece is 10 -12+/-, and she's got such an analytical mind, she questions everything. She'd be a good lawyer.

[Dashing Dasher]

I questioned everything also... got myself in a ton of trouble with my inquisitive mind.

I'm still curious about everything and need to know how things work...

It doesn't make me a bad person.... just annoying at times....

;-)

[peacebaby]

it means you're smart that you are inquisitive. As far as wondering how things work, I have to protect my stuff or my husband will take my stuff apart to see how it all works - the sewing machine, the hair dryer. The good thing is he can put them back together.

My mama told me she hoped I had kids just like me........(that smarts). *~*

[peacebaby]

I know, I know! haha

I warn my daughters not to disrespect me, 'cause what goes around comes around.

[Dawgreg]

Well, thank the Lord, mine weren't like me......hehehehehe, but my two granddaughters are rotten and as soon as I find out who did that I'm gonna knock 'em out! LOL

[peacebaby]

haha....and you feed your grandkids ice cream - for breakfast - when they're at your house, right?

[Fierce Allegiance]

Dad always said "There's a fine line between Saturday Night & Sunday morning."

[Dawgreg]

What? you mean ice cream and chololate not a good breakfast? LOL!........well, I got a dressin' down, so to speak from my lovely daughter.......MOM, buy more fruit! Seriously, the skies the limit with the grands but I need more self-control.......(I'm workin' on that, really I am). Heheheheheee.

[peacebaby]

Ha! I knew it!

[Dawgreg]

ROTFLMBO!

[radiohead]

the devil will come with a bag of chewed erasers and you won't get in because you were wasteful!!!" Imagine telling that to a class of second-graders.

We had to clean our desks as kids and Sister would stand over the trashcan to see how much we threw away. As we tossed paper in, she would say that we'd burn in hell for wasting paper. Such uplifting theology!

[bannie]

LOL! "The world doesn't really care what [bannie] wants!"

[bannie]

wow! I tell kids, "Only boring people get bored."

I must be related to you!

:)

[bannie]

I started laughing with tears at your post.

I'm still sputtering!

LIFE'S FRIGGIN' FUNNY!!!!

[Keith in Iowa]

My dad always told me "If you can't be good, be careful. And if you're not careful, you can't name it after me or your mother." - and, "If you ever find yourself in jail, don't waste your one call on me - I'm not going to come and get you."

[bannie]

Don't marry an ugly man: You'll have ugly kids.

[peacebaby]

You must be related to my mother. Is your name Ida, or Uva, or Una, or Edna, or Sister?

Yes, when Mom told me, I"f you're bored, you're boring," I'd get so furious because there was no retort to that common sense remark!
