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."

I just love that! You have no idea how many of those I heard as a child, ESPECIALLY the last one. I never had children, but I do have a CAT who is just like me. My husband calls her the curse of Helga (my mother).
