My Mom always said:

"You need to learn to bend with the wind like the willow...if you fight the wind like the oak you will break..."

"God never promised fun or fair, He only promised that he would be there..."

"Cowgirl up...you can't be a real cowgirl unless you can drink your coffee black..."

lol good memories :-)

I stand proud by the "Don't do as I do--do as I say!! statement--
I say it a bit different thou--"Don't worry about what I do-Do what I tell you to do"
I tell ALL my kids that often (and 3 outta the 4 are grown ass adults well, by age anyway)and I mean it each and every time I say it....

"enough is enough" HUH?
"Don't give me any lip" then you pull on your bottom lip and give your Mom lip.

"Turn that crap down it's giving me a headache"

Now I like most music, but through-out the years some of my childrens choices made me utter those same words my Mother said to me..

msb-no looking for switches in the yard, but I remember my mom breaking a thick ass measuring stick over my ass, then yelling at me for it breaking... (lol)

Clean your plate-there are kids in China who are starving
Because I said so
Wail till your Dad comes home
ha haa
This is what I tell my kids:
If you do anything to make me look bad, you are in deep shit
Do you like that cell phone you are using?
You want that? Did you bring your own money?
LOLOL

Shake it off

Not a quote but a little ditty my dad used to recite from time to time...
Sam, Sam the dirty man
Washed his face in a frying pan
Brushed his teeth with a donkeys tail
Scratched his belly with his big toe nail !

Don't know where it came from or why he knew it or even repeated it. Just a childhood memory :)

First off, Happy New Year :)
Quote: Don't cross your eyes or make faces like that cause your eyes and face will stay like that if you do!
Well now that I'm a tad bit older my mom was right-my face and eyes are staying like that, it just took some time for it to do it-LOL
