It bugged her that I crammed my lip gloss, cash, extra ponytail & key in my pockets. <br />I like purses now.<br />She also put a dime in bra once when I went out!

We did, and taught our kids likewise. Now they HATE correct anatomical terms, and teach their kids idiot baby names. What is my granddaughter's husband going to think on their honeymoon when she refers to her "hoo-ha?"<br /><br />My mom's two favorite sayings were, "Duty, Lorie! Duty!" which was the Austrian/German First Commandment. Also, "We can make this into __(something else)" such as a flour sack into curtains, a D.I. dress for a fat lady into pajamas for the twins, wall-to wall carpet sewn-together from scraps collected at the nearby carpet store dumpster, a cardboard box into a fruit drying smoker, rubber gaskets into pony-tail holders, etc.Financial Aid for Collegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421939255186853149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153439800823000090.post-57984081780163313152009-05-12T14:18:00.000-06:002009-05-12T14:18:00.000-06:00I got nothing......um I heard her say "be quiet I ...I got nothing......um I heard her say "be quiet I have a headache." a lot.

Like if you're in a car accident, that's what you'll be worried about! <br /><br />My mom always warned me that when you marry someone, you also marry their family. She knew from experience, and she was definitely right!<br /><br />She also told me after Sawyer was born that if I didn't let him cry it out he would never sleep through the night. She was wrong about that one.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809929710257793614noreply@blogger.com
