Sometimes when I speak, I hear my mother’s voice and words. I say the same things she said to me. I say them for the same reason. I hear my sister doing the same thing.
However, there are somethings we have had to say that I know my mother never even thought of having to tell us. Frankly, I can not remember many of them, but here is a partial list of what I do recall.
- Get your feet out of your mouth.
- Get your brother’s feet out of your mouth.
- Do not ever put a stool on top of an island chair and climb on it again.
- You are five years old, so no you are not smarter than me.
- Do not talk about how wild a person’s hair is when you are standing in front of her…
- Do not tell the cashier at the grocery store your your entire life’s history as we check out.
- I don’t care what they said on television. I am not buying an “ab flex.”
- You are four years old, so no you can not have a Facebook account.
- No, my not buying you a trampoline like your friend’s did not cause you to jump on the couch.
- Please stop telling people your dad is on vacation. He is traveling for work.
