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

My husband's nan once told me " There are three sides to every story. Yours mine and the truth". How true

Even at three years of age, I didn't believe my mum's - or anyone else's- 'illigical' claims

If she suspected me of not telling the truth, she would make my stick my tongue out, saying there would be a line on it if I was lying.
If I sucked, she would warn that if the wind changed direction, my face would stay like that.
One Christmas, she said that Father Christmas listened down chimneys and would known if I misbehaved.

I clearly remembering thinking to myself at the time that these things were completely untrue! I'm not sure what that says about me

AuntyFlo, my piano teacher used one of those long, extra thick pencils to rap knuckles, not a ruler.

I have been racking my brains to remember anything my mother ever told me, but all I can come up with is that she always got cross with me for leaving the car in gear and my foot on the clutch when waiting at traffic lights.

I know she was right but I've never got out of the habit.

My late mom used to say "youth is wasted on the young" I used to roll my eyes. Its only now in my 50s I get it and get why I didn't get it in my teens? 20s 30s and early 40s ?
