    lmao, that's great. Seems like something I'd get in an email. So amusing because I know my mom has probably said the majority of those things to my sis and I at some point on our lives. Mom's are so cool.

    Heheheh, I think my mother used every single one of those on me throughout childhood.

    The underwear one was a favourite of my grandmother's too, along with the strange logic that sitting on peoples garden walls gave you haemorrhoids personally that was enough to prevent me even wanting to put her to the test.

    My mother taught me to not give any money to friends who will cheat you later on.

    As that is what happened yesterday.

    Yeah, I've had the majority of those sayings thrown at me at one time or another. Mom's favorite was the clean underwear one.

    Yeah, I was in an accident once on the way home. My mom had planned on teaching me about foresight that night...

    Those situations are funny. The hidden meanings of things mothers can say seriously are amusing.

    Those are hilarious!! I love the osmosis one.

    My mother taught me ventriloquism. She used the same voice for our cat, our cousins' dog, our neighbor's baby, and occasionally my father.
    And besides, most people look at this type of topic unrealistically. They are all under the apparent misconception tha--oh, wait. Is my post over? Ah, okay.

    "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."

    That's a Bill Cosby quote. He says "I brought you into this world, I can take you out, and it won't matter, cause I can make another one just like you"

    Its in my book of favorites.
