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.

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.
