Here's some from mine: "Next time you get sprayed by a skunk change your clothes out in the barn!"
***********************************************
"My mother always told me, "Never learn to milk a cow!"
A farmer's wife, and before that, a farmer's child with two able brothers, she had come by this valuable advice early on. I never learned who whispered in her ear.............."
****************************************************
"My mother showed me why you don't light the coiling "Black Snake"
fireworks in the kitchen.
My mother told me what happens when you dispose of dehydrated potatoes in the garbage disposal with water.
My mother told me to never put scotch tape over the inside of the phone receiver (no, Mom, you aren't deaf).
My mother showed and told me to never put one end of a 6-foot Christmas tree into the living room fireplace.
My mother told me not to shorten one of her crutches by 6 inches anymore.........."
*****************************************************
"When I was a young girl dating boys, my mother always told me to be home by midnight.
"Nothing good happens after midnight," she said.
My friends said, "Tell your mother that nothing good happens until midnight."
**************************************************
"..........4. Poverty never kills. It's just a bother.
5. Your attitude will open people's hearts towards you.
6. If you love your child, discipline him.
7. Be kind to people. You never know when you are entertaining an angel.
8. Hard work can make someone look talented................"
