Things My Mother Taught Me!

[maggiebee]

My mum taught me –
Religion................... “You better pray that comes out of the carpet.”
Logic........................”Because I said so, that’s why.”
Irony.......................”Keep crying and I’ll give you something to cry about.”
Wisdom..................”When you get to my age you’ll understand.”
Justice....................”One day you’ll have kids. I hope they turn out just like you.”
Economics.............”When you start paying the bills around here you can have something to say around here.”
