What my mother has taught me….

I had this in drafts for a long time, decided to post it today. Had found this a while ago, it’s surreal but quite amusing.

I’ve always tried to listen to my mommy’s lessons…well, sometime, maybe. Don’t we all! Still love her dearly though.

“If you don’t straighten up, I’m going to knock you into the middle of next week!”
