Little sayings that are passed down from Mother to Child then magically are said again when that Child becomes a Mother!
Momisms

God gave you two ears and one mouth... so you should listen twice as much as you talk.

Grandparents are similar to a piece of string -- handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grandchildren.

Any child can tell you that the purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble. 



Motherhood - If it was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!

There are three ways to get something done: Do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or forbid your children to do it.

Raising a teenager is like nailing Jello to a tree.

Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.

The smartest advice on raising children is to enjoy them while they are still on your side.

Avenge yourself - live long enough to be a problem to your children.




This mother's Day, let us take a look at some well known "momisms". These phrases have been repeated again and again by mothers around the world. 
"Close that door! Were you born in a barn?"

"Get that thing out of your mouth."

"Honestly... You'd lose your head if it wasn't screwed on!"

"I hope that when you grow up you have kids 'Just Like you'! "

"If I talked to my mother like you talk to me... "

"If you can't say something nice, dont say anything at all."

"If you hurt yourself, don't come running to me."

"If you see a penny pick it up, put it in your drawer and it will grow".

"I've got eyes in the back of my head, that's how!"

"I've told you a thousand times not to do so."

"What goes around - comes around."

"What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too?"

"What's meant to be, is meant to be."

"Who'll end up walking, bathing and feeding it...? "

"Work hard! You were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth."

"You have enough dirt behind those ears to grow potatoes!"

"You'll understand when you have kids of your own."

And Finally ....

"It doesn't matter what you accomplish, I'll always be proud of you."
