It’s 9 a.m. Have you stepped on a Lego yet?
Moms are tough people and pretty smart, generally speaking. Experience teaches you a lot.
As moms, most of us learned valuable lessons early with her first child. Tidbits like ‘silence isn’t golden, it is suspicious.’
And as Nicole Fornabaio from The Noun Project said, said about the first baby, “Is it organic and homemade?” After the second baby, “He can have anything except narcotics and alcohol.”
Yes. motherhood is challenging. but in the end, mothers have provided their children with a vast amount of knowledge.
I found this amusing take on what moms teach kids (author unknown).
My mother taught me about WEATHER. “Your room looks like a tornado hit it.”
My mother taught me about RELIGION. “You better pray that comes out of the carpet.”
My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL. “If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you into next week.”
My mother taught me about OSMOSIS. “Shut your mouth and eat your supper.”
My mother taught me about the CIRCLE OF LIFE. “There are millions of less fortunate children in the world who don’t have wonderful parents like you.”
My mother taught me about GENEALOGY. “Shut that door. You think you were raised in a barn?”
My mother taught me about RECEIVING. “You are going to get it when we get home.”
My mother taught me about JUSTICE. “One day you’ll have kids. I hope they turn out just like you.”
My mother taught me about LOGIC. “Because I said so, that’s why.”
My mother taught me STAMINA. “You’ll sit there until your spinach is gone.”
My mother taught me about IRONY. “Keep crying. I’ll give you something to cry about.”
There you have it. Kids out there should be geniuses.
