Believe me - the day will come when you'll say some of those same things to your own kids and then think "Damn, I sound just like my Mother!" Trust me - it'll happen.

And the worst part of it is when you were a kid you said you never would!! I read them out loud to Lisa who was amused. I guess I have said them too, despite swearing I would never grow up and say that!!

By the way, that came to me in e-mail and I thought I would share.
One "mom" saying that a friend's mom used to say...
You two quit that before I knock BOTH your heads together...
Like you could knock only one together?

My Mom & Dad just left from visiting me for the week end. My Dad is very sick, but they made the trip.
Every child needs both a Mother & a Father.
My Mom is great, I would take a bullet for mine.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Hmm.... my mother could have said nearly all of those things on the list and plenty more. She should have been a teacher or preacher, not HR type.
