Motherly Advice
We've all been given advice by our Mothers but we thought it would be fun to list the universal advices that we are fairly certain most of us have heard once or twice! Do these bring back some memories for you?
- Make sure to change your underwear always; you never know when you'll have an accident.
- Don't make that face or it'll solidify in that position.
- Be careful or else you'll put your eye out.
- What if everyone jumped into a well? Would you do it, too?
- You have enough filth behind those ears to grow potatoes!
- C'mon close that door! Were you born in a barn?
- If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.
- Don't put that thing in your mouth; you don't know where it's been!

A Mother's Love
A mother's love determines how
We love ourselves and others.
There is no sky we'll ever see
Not lit by that first love.
Stripped of love, the universe
Would drive us mad with pain;
But we are born into a world
That greets our cries with joy.
How much I owe you for the kiss
That told me who I was!
The greatest gift--a love of life--
Lay laughing in your eyes.
Because of you my world still has
The soft grace of your smile;
And every wind of fortune bears
The scent of your caress.
