With Mother’s Day on May 12 I thought I should admit I owe my mother...
1. My mother taught me to appreciate a job well done.
“If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.”
2. My mother taught me religion.
“You better pray that will come out of the carpet.”
3. My mother taught me about time travel.
“If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week!”
4. My mother taught me logic.
“Because I said so, that’s why.”
5. 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.”
6. My mother taught me foresight.
“Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you’re in an accident.”
