My Mother Taught Me

For Mother’s Day I wanted to share what was in our church bulletin this Sunday.  It’s funny, inspiring, and so true. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Reasons I Owe My Mother

1. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC:
“If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you’re not going to the store with me.”

2. My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM:
“Will you look at that dirt on the back of your neck!”

3. My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY:
“If I told you once, I’ve told you a million times. Don’t exaggerate!”

4. My mother taught me about STAMINA:
“You’ll sit there until all that spinach is gone.”

5. My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION:
“Just wait until we get home.”

6. My mother taught me about ESP:
“Put your sweater on; don’t you think I know when you are cold?”

7. My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT:
“If you don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up.”

8. My mother taught me GENETICS:
“You’re just like your father.”

9. My mother taught me WISDOM:
“When you get to be my age, you’ll understand.”

10. And the favorite: My mother taught me about JUSTICE:
“One day you’ll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you.”

Happy Mother’s Day!
