Things your mother said that you never believed when you were younger.

'Our radio won't receive Radio Luxemburg.' Evil woman!

My mother had, what we thought, strange ideas which we all laughed at, but now even my daughter often says ‘Nanny wasn’t so wrong was she’.

Where babies come from!

Having sugar in tea or making sugar butties ((does anyone remember those?) would give you worms!

If you play with matches in the evening, you’ll wet your bed. I did regardless.

Did you wet the bed or play with matches regardless?

My.Mum and Aunties always told me not to sit withy back to the fire as it would make me feel sick. Never understood it.

Run upstairs for me and fetch _____, your legs are younger than mine.

My mum told me that you couldn't get pregnant if you didn't have an orgasam ! She had three children my sister was nine years older than me and my brother 12 years younger!

You'll enjoy listening to Shirley Bassey one day, and she was right.

“Having young children is such a small part of your life”.

It felt quite long at the time.

Yes she always said ‘ if you want to keep a secret keep it to yourself.’ Too true

Wearing Hot Pants and Crop tops can only end you in trouble!

Well not me exactly, but it did cause two cars to crash into each other as we crossed the road one day, my friend and I were on our way to a Dance, all dressed up in this 70s Height of fashion, and causing a fair few Pips and Wolf whistles along the way!
Except the traffic lights changed, and one young Lad smashed straight into the back of the car infront, due to looking and shouting after us, and not keeping his eye on where he was going!

Tidiness is the best way to be lazy - you never have to spend time looking for stuff you can just find it right away. Once again she proved right.

'Keep a thing for seven years and you'll find a use for it'. I've found this amazingly true sometimes and always acknowledge with a wink and a nod Heavenwards. Oh yes.....

Wet my bed. And when I was older and wiser, played with matches! ?

Eat your crusts and your hair will curl, still straight

I remember sitting on the Tube with Mum when I was about 9 or 10, seeing an advertisement for a building society with the message that they were as reliable as the dates of solar eclipses and indicating that the next one would be in 1999. I asked mum how old I would be then, and she said I would be 54 - what rubbish was that, I thought to myself, I'd never be that old ....

When I was a teenager, my lovely Mum used to say to me "you'll wash your hair white" as I washed it every other day or when going out. My hair is white now but I'm not not sure it's because I washed it too much!

My mum told me that school days were the best of your life. They weren't.

My mother said that but I didn’t ask why. ??

“Nearly there!” when I felt sick on trams and buses.
Not true...

My mum used to tell me to eat all my veg as it will put hairs on your chest REALLY ?.
You do know i am a girl mother dear.
And if i sat on the coffee table she would tell me tables are meant for glasses not asses off you get.

When I started dating my Mum said - never trust a blond boy.
Not sure where she got that from but I did end up with a brown haired man so I must have been listening!
