“She could learn to keep her shoulders back and perfect her lumbering walk with arms swinging.”
Or as my mother used to say, “Stop walking as though you’re walking behind a plow!” Ah, the good old days — sit up straight, don’t fidget in your chair, don’t sit on the arm of the chair — that’s why they have seats, scoot back in the sofa, you’ll break down the cushions. Stand up straight. Don’t pop your gum. Were you raised in a barn?”
Hi, Mom. I miss you.
I had a 3rd grade teacher who would whack our desks and say, “Straighten that spine”. Loved Mrs Smith! :-)
