I can’t wait until you have a couple little children of your own.
You’ll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly, but right now I’d thank you not to roll your eyes at me.
Close your mouth when you chew.
Would appreciate.
Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate.
Use a fork, do not burp, or I’ll set you straight.
Eat the food I put upon your plate.
Get an “A”.
Get the door.
Don’t get smart with me.
Get a grip.
Get a mirror.
I’ll count to three.
Get a job.
Get a life.
Get a PhD.
Because I don’t care who started it.
You’re grounded until you’re 36.
Get your story straight and tell the truth for once for heaven’s sake.
And, if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said at least a thousand times before that you're too old to act this way. It must be your father’s DNA.
Look at me when I am talking.
Stand up straight or when you walk.
A place for everything and everything must be in place.
Stop crying or I’ll give you something real to cry about.
Oh, wash your face, wash you face.
Put your PJs on. Get in bed. Get a hug. Say a prayer with mom.
Don’t forget. I love you (kiss).
And, tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom’s work never ends.
You don’t need the reason why…because, because, because, because…I said so. I said so. I said so. I said so.
I’m the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom! Tada.
