lessons mom taught---what a CROCK!

One day, I swear, I'm going to get even with Mom for all those lessons she taught me when I was young and impressionable. Like, 'when you borrow something return it in as good of shape, if not better, than when you borrow it.' What a Crock!!!! I borrow her car for one day. I go to the grocery store and run Breane back and forth to school. That cost me a car wash and a fill-up. What? Well, thanks to her LESSONS, I could not just take it, use it, and then throw it back at her. Or that lovely lesson of 'do your best to give others what they are paying you for.' Great mom, so I can't just 'clock in' and then hide from the boss all day.' 'Thanks for nothing.' Or my personal favorite, 'Be honest in your dealings with others.' I promise you that one covers a multitude of crimes. I can't even keep Diane's ten dollar bill I found in my driveway. Seems to me it should cost her something for dropping it. I sure hope I didn't burden my own children with such ridiculous lessons. I love you mom, even if your lessons are pretty useless!

Hmm, no life lessons that I recall, but I do recall inspiring personal motivators such as: "Wow, I didn't know they stacked crap that high!"
