As I was cooking dinner tonight, I was thinking about all the things my mother has taught me.
1. Always wear clean underwear
2. Cook corn for 8 minutes
3. Hang pictures 5 ft from the floor (In our case, 6')
4. It's okay to say "no" when people ask favors
5. Tell the grocer it's okay to bag more than one unrelated item in a bag
6. Don't put your sponge in the dishwasher
7. Don't buy a Bissell vacuum cleaner
8. If they didn't get you a gift, you don't need to get them one
9. A clove of garlic is the small piece that breaks off, not the whole thing
10. Get a college degree, but it's ok if you're not doing what your degree says
11. Don't throw away food, left overs are just as good
12. Don't use bleach, it will ruin everything
13. Don't have sex until you're married
14. It's okay to pretend to like someone
15. Hard work doesn't always pay off
16. Pay your bills on time
17. Turn the AC off at night and turn on a fan
18. Have fun with your husband before you have kids
19. A little gossip never hurt anyone
20. If it hurts internally, take Benedryl, if it hurts externally, put Noxema on it
21. Your first speeding ticket should be posted on the refrigerator
22. Practice the piano at least 30 min a day
23. Listen to your daughter when she says "read Twilight"
24. HGTV has good ideas
25. Check your facebook everyday
Okay, so she didn't say that last one, but if she had a facebook, she would. I'm sure I'm missing a million other things she's said, but all of these things are so true. Momma is always right!
