a belated mothersday mention.....

This weekend was Mothers Day back in wonderful South Africa and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our mothers and mothers-to-be and to say we hope that your children and spouses treat you like the beautiful mothers you are.
Here are some things our mothers thought us through the years:

1. My Mother taught me about ANTICIPATION..."Just wait until your father gets home."

2. My Mother taught me about RECEIVING...."You are going to get it when we get home!"
3. My Mother taught me to MEET A CHALLENGE..."What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you! Don't talk back tome!"
4. My Mother taught me LOGIC..."If you fall out off that swing and break your neck, you're not going tothe store with me."
5. My Mother taught me MEDICAL SCIENCE..."If you don't stop crossing your eyes, they are going to freeze thatway."
6. My Mother taught me to THINK AHEAD..."If you don't pass your spelling test, you'll never get a good job."
7. My Mother taught me HUMOR..."When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don't come running to me."
8. My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT..."If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up."
9. My Mother taught me about GENETICS..."You're just like your father."
10. My Mother taught me about my ROOTS..."Do you think you were born in a barn?"
11. My Mother taught me about WISDOM OF AGE..."When you get to be my age, you will understand."And last but not least...
12. My Mother taught me about JUSTICE..."One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just likeyou....Then you'll see what it's like!"
