A Mother's Love--and Teachings
by Seema Tyagi on Saturday, 14 May 2011 at 09:21
THINGS I TAUGHT MY CHILDREN:
* TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE-"If you're going to kill each other do it outside-I just finished cleaning."
* RELIGION-"You better pray that will come out of the carpet."
* TIME TRAVEL-"If you don't straighten up, I'm going to kick you into the middle of next week."
* LOGIC-"Because I said so, that's why."
* FORESIGHT-"Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you have to dive into a river to save a drowning child”.
* IRONY-"Keep laughing or I'll *give* you something to cry about."
* OSMOSIS-"Shut your mouth and eat your food."
*@ BRAT Only: CONTORTIONISM-"Will you look at the dirt on the back on your neck!"
* STAMINA-"You'll sit there till all that fruit / vegetable is finished."
* WEATHER-"It looks as if a tornado swept through your room."
* How to solve PHYSICS PROBLEMS-"If I yelled because I saw a meteor coming towards you; would you then listen??"
* HYPOCRISY-"If I've told you once I've told you a million times-Don't Exaggerate!!!"
* THE CIRCLE OF LIFE-" I brought you into this world, and I can take you out. So LOOK OUT!!!"
* BEHAVIOUR -"Stop acting like your father."
* ENVY-"There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."
* ULTIMATUMS – “ Do NOT fall with your mouths open and chip your teeth EVER AGAIN!!! Or I will knock them out myself.”
Do I hear a chorus of THANK YOUS??? Aanchal, Saahil, Shalu????
