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

"When you have kids you'll know what I mean". Oh yes, she was right on that !

My mother lied to me and told me I couldn't sing. I believed it for far too many years but now I know I can sing and I do.

That's the reverse of the question of course.

'You'll be old one day'. Never believed her....

Only one thing: classical music has a bigger appeal when you get older (vs your teens)

I remember when I was younger my mum telling me to tuck my top into my trousers because I'd get a draught. Then I ignored her because it didn't matter, I didn't feel the cold. But now I find myself tucking my vest in- and it is warmer. Has your mother ever turned out to be right about things?
