What I Learned from Mom

"I really learned it all from mothers."
- Dr. Benjamin Spock, Parenting Expert

Question to Ponder (Powerquotes.com)
What are the most valuable things I have learned from my Mother?

Always sit in the back row at church
Always match your purse and shoes
Wear white gloves to the city
Wear a hat to church
Never bake cakes from a boxed mix
How to bake cut out cookies
Do washing on Monday
Sprinkle clothes Monday night to iron on Tuesday
Iron on Tuesday so your clothes don't get moldy
How to make my own clothes
Never wear pink with red
Never wear plaid with flowers
Two vegetables are better than one
Cats are better than dogs
Don't tie your hair in a pony tail too tight or you will go bald
Always wear clean underwear
Keep track of every penny spent
Gone With the Wind is the best movie ever
Gone With the Wind is the best book
Dr. Kildare is a better catch than Ben Casey
Soap operas are a waste of time
Always have dinner on the table at 6pm sharp
Clean your plate, people are starving in...
To sit ladylike with legs crossed
Never drink water in strange places
Always put paper down on public toilets

All kidding aside, how to die with dignity.

Actions to Consider
Be grateful for the role your mother has had in your life.
If she is still alive, tell her your answers to today’s question.
Then thank her.
