Of course that was always followed by, if so and so jumped off a bridge would you?

So.....one day I looked at her and said; it depends, is there water under the bridge? I PROMISE you I never said that again. LOL

LOL... One time I said something and my mom said that it was disrespectful. To which I replied "Oh man... momma learned a new word".

Never... my friends... never will I say that again.

LOL. That's like the time I called my grandmother "Grandma Grunt with her teeth out front"

Not a good thing to say when you are within arm's reach, let me tell ya. Lesson learned and learned well.

Sinatra, if we tried to tell our mom that so-and-so was getting to go somewhere or do something, her answer to us was, "Well, I am not so-and-so's mother. I am YOUR mother. And you will do as I say, not as their mother says."

At bedtime, my dad would say, "Time to hit the hay"

Then, "kiss me quick but don't slobber"
