What My Mama Told Me

Isn't it funny that most of wisdom that my mother imparted on me I swore I would never say to my own children yet I find myself saying the same things on a daily basis.

• Money does not grow on trees.
• Close the door. Were you born in a barn?
• Because I said so.
• Just wait until your father gets home.
• Because I am the mother, that's why.
• Be careful what you wish for.
• If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times.
• This hurts me more than it hurts you.

You know you have some that you remember or say. What are they? What good ones did I miss?
