The following are my favorites coz I heard those lines when I was a kid..

My mother taught me IRONY....
"Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about!"

My mother taught me about JUSTICE...
"One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU... then you'll see what it's like."

Other lines from my mother are:
Respect your older siblings coz you won't be here if I died giving birth to them.. (everytime I have a fight with my brothers or sisters)

Stop fighting with your brother/sister or else I'll give a knife to each of you..After that, she said "kill each other".


Note:
my mother said, I'm her favorite daughter..(my siblings know that..haha)
my brother whom I always had a fight before is going to a seminary..Before, a day without a fight between us was a "holy day"..
and my most-hated sister before is my closest sis now..

My Mom's favorites: :glitterlol:
LOGIC...
"Because I said so, that's why."
INTUITION...
"Put your sweater on; don't you think that I know when you're cold?"
to MEET A CHALLENGE...
"What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you... Don't talk back to me!"
IRONY....
"Keep crying and I'll give you something to cry about!"
STAMINA....
"You'll sit there until all that spinach is finished."
- she would even tell me that a million kids in Africa were suffering from hunger, so I had to finish my food, whatever it was!

This post is so funny and quite sentimental! I remember my mom and how much she tried hard to a good mother the best way she knew!

:inlove: Love this post, racz! :thankyou:

Awww..... I love the "meet a challenge" part, she always did that to me! she also said "Shut up and tell me how to finish this puzzle!" and other things that wouldn't make sense in writing.

Haha! This is so true! Especially so since I play that mom-part now. When this was sent to me thru email, I realized that I'm sometimes, uh, maybe, more than sometimes, err, most of the time so like this kind of mom. I even printed this verse out and let my daughter read it. We had a good laugh after she gave me that ever so famous, knowing look of hers. And I knew then that my baby loves me and if this is kind of crime that we moms commit to our kids, I'm sure she has forgiven me. :heartbeat: Hmm, why do I feel like this is some kind of confession -- this thing I'm doing now. :perspiring: (Sorry, my baby. I do love you forever. And as long as I'm living, forever you'll be my girl! ...to dote on, to love, and, to teach! :KISS:)

Funny that after having this chance to read it again, I realized my own mom is so not like this -- so different from what I am now, just as my own daughter is so unlike me. Hey, I couldn't even remember her uttering those words to me or something to that effect. So how come I ended up just like this Mom in this verse? But I say this all the time, whatever your moms (or dads) say or did not say to you, it's always because of their deep love for their children. (I'm not defensive, huh?!!!) :halo: :DANCER:

I hope it's OK to share these things here in English Coffee. Just sharing some thoughts... :cool1:

My Mother taught me INTUITION...
"Put your sweater on; don't you think that I know when you're cold?"

LOL This one is so true! My mom is always cold, so guess who always wore a sweater? I´m from Venezuela, and it´s amaizing how I can still relate with most of the phrases... moms are so international :)
