My Mother taught me to 'meet a challenge' - What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you! Don't talk back to me!

Parent After Thoughts...
You spend a half hour searching for your sunglasses only to have your teenager say, Mom, why don't you wear the ones you pushed up on your head?

For weeks a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house.
One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment.

The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, "Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?" Tommy burst into tears and confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"

An angry mother took her son to the doctor and asked, "Is a nine-year-old boy able to perform appendectomy?"
"Of course not," the doctor said impatiently.
The mother turned to her son and said, "What did I tell you? Now put it back."
The child had his mother's eyes, his mother's nose, and his mother's mouth. This leaves his mother with a pretty blank expression. -
A woman came to ask the doctor if a woman should have children after thirty-five. I said, "Thirty-five children are enough for any woman."
When my mom got really mad, she would say, "Your butt is my meat." Not a particularly attractive phrase. And I always wondered, now, what wine goes with that?
My mom was a little weird. When I was little she would make chocolate frosting. And she'd let me lick the beaters. And then she'd turn them off.
