To all the Mom's out there... Have a Happy Mother's Day!
[font=Geneva, Arial]
Your mother used to tell you the same things over and over again. Not because she liked the sound of her own voice, but because you didn't listen. [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial] These little life lessons had a point. Maybe you didn't know it at the time, perhaps nor did she ... but you were being prepared for the real world. She knew what she was talking about. [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial] A five-pack of things your mother told you ... and what it really meant ... [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial] 5. Your mother said: "Be nice to your sister/brother!" What you didn't know at the time: Your siblings would grow up and become more successful than you and you'd have to go to them for money. [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial] 4. Your mother said: "Always wear clean underwear." What neither of you knew at the time: That this advice would come in handy years later when you unexpectedly hooked up with someone at a house party. [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial] 3. Your mother said: "Eat it, it's good for you." What you didn't know at the time: She was right, and had you continued to eat what your mother deemed "good for you" you probably wouldn't be overweight today. [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial] 2. Your mother said: "That's not funny!" What she was trying to tell you: Seriously, you're not funny. Plus, whatever gag you're currently employing has been seen a million times. Please find some new material or you'll grow up to become a one-trick pony in the same vein as your "pull my finger" uncle. [/font]
[font=Geneva, Arial] 1. Your mother said: "If so-and-so jumped off a bridge, would you do it, too?" What she really meant was: Your friend is a loser. The fact he puts funny things up his nose and can make fart noises with his armpit does not guarantee success in the future. Find a new role model. [/font]
