Mother's laws

Mothers only offer advice on two occasions: when you want it and when you don't.

Article by : SpunOut.ie
  • A mother's love is a better cure than chicken soup, but chicken soup is cheaper.
  • Your mother is the only person that knows more about you than you know about yourself.
  • The more you try to stay on your mother's good side, the harder it will be to figure out which side this is.
  • The nicer a mother is, the greater the probability that her kids are rotten.
  • The motherly advice you ignore will always turn out to be the best advice she ever gave you.
  • If you forget, mom will remind you of all your mistakes so that you don't repeat them.
  • Anything you do can be criticised by your mother - even doing nothing.
  • You can't "out mother" your mother. Don't even try.
  • Never lie to your mother. And if you do, never think you got away with it.
  • The older you are, the more you feel like a child around your mother.
  • All mother's have a "How To" manual. That's because they wrote the book.
  • Mother's way is best. If you don't believe it, ask her.
  • Everything is a good idea till you mother finds out and tells you why it isn't.
  • When you are broke, ask mom for a loan. She will help you remember what you wasted all your money on.
  • The more expensive the gift you give your mother, the longer she will "save" it before she uses it.
  • No matter how wrong you are, your mother will not hold it against you. She may remind you a number of times, but she will not hold it against you.
  • Accomplishments are made possible by your mother - failures are your own fault.
  • Mother can always tell you a better way to do something after you've already done it.
  • The longer it's been since you cleaned house, the more likely it is that mother will visit.
  • The more you detest an item that belongs to your mother, the more likely it is that she will try to give it to you.
  • Never tell your mother you have nothing to do. She can always find something.
  • Mothers always "know." We don't know how - they just do.
