One of a mom's many jobs is to spew words of wisdom. Adam reminded me of this when he stopped by last night with a Mother's Day card and gift. He claims that I said the following to him many times while he was growing up, and that is...
"If your friends all jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?"
(I don't remember saying this, but he claims that I did). Now that I've got "big ears" with me all day, I try to be especially conscious of the things I say. There have been several times that parents have mentioned that their children have picked up a particular word or phrase and wondered where. So far, so good...everything I've said that the kids have repeated has been G rated!
PS...Looks like my "bridge jumping" advice has been heeded. To date, neither Adam nor any of his friends have jumped off any bridges.
Nancy & Sheryl, did you know that May 6 is George Clooney's birthday too?

ReplyDeleteHi! Hope all of you Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day. We went to Bismarck yesterday and had supper at a Texas Roadhouse with Wendy, Kelley and families; then went to a dance recital where Hailey danced beautifully. Today we had dinner with Penny, Micah and Lucas so my Mother's Day was complete. We took Mom to the DQ to get her favorite french fries AND the FREE sundaes late this afternoon. I'm pooped!!
ReplyDeleteHi Bev! It sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!
