"A mother is never cocky or proud, because she knows the school principal may call at any minute to report that her child has just driven a motorcycle through the gymnasium."

Things a Mom Would NEVER Say!

 

“Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too. “

“Just leave all the lights on….it makes the house look more cheery.”

“Let me smell that shirt---Yeah, it’s good for another week.”

“Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey.  I’ll be glad to feed and walk him every day.”

“Well, if Timmy’s mom says it’s OK, that’s good enough for me.”

“The curfew is just a general time to shoot for.  It’s not like I’m running a prison around here.”

“I don’t have a tissue with me…just use your sleeve.”

“Don’t bother wearing a jacket – the wind chill is bound to improve.”
