Did your Mommy ever say that to you?  Mine did right before bed she would always tuck me in and lean in to kiss my cheek and whisper in my ear “Love you to the moon and back baby good night”. Now here is a list of other things Mom’s might say A little “birdy” told me! All I do is follow you around, picking up after you like some maid. Am I talking to a brick wall? Are you deaf or something? Are you lying to me? As long as you live under my roof, you’ll do as I say. Beds are NOT made for jumping on. Call me when you get there, just so I know you’re okay. Close the door! You don’t live in a barn. Did someone make a doody? Did you brush your teeth? Did you comb your hair? Do as I say, not as I do. Do you think I’m made of money? Do you think your socks are going to pick themselves up? Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back. Don’t eat that, you’ll get worms! Don’t go out with a wet head, you’ll catch cold.

If wishes were horses… If you could stay out last night, you can get up this morning. If you don’t do it NOW, then when are you going to do it? If you stick your tongue out again it will fall off. If you’re too sick to go to school, you’re too sick to play outside. I’m doing this for your own good. I’m going to skin you alive! I’m not going to ask you again. I’m not your cleaning lady!
