Motherly Quotes

Here are some things my mom said to me growing up. Some of these things are just cute phrases, others were words of advice.

"If you're ever down on your luck, and you absolutely have to sell your body to make ends meet, don't think that you can pass as a high class hooker. I'm your mother, and I love you, but you're only pretty enough to turn tricks for, at most, 15 bucks."

"You were a mistake. A happy mistake for me. Not for your dad though."

"Remember your favorite horsie, the one you used to play on all the time? Well, I told you we sold it to a happy family when, in actuality, I threw it away because you pissed me off."

"As a joke we taught you everything backwards. You used to think the letter Z was the letter A; you thought the sky was green and the ground was blue; left was right. Sigh, your kindergarten teacher thought you had a learning disability so she held you back a year. Man were we baked"

"If you don't eat that you're going to turn into a skeleton. Uh-oh, I can see the bone growing out of your ear. You better hurry up and eat it or else you're gonna be a skeleton" Oh yes, she really did this one.

"If you don't behave I'm calling child services and they're going to take you away! That's it, I'm picking up the phone..."

"If I catch you misbehaving in church I'm going to tear off your little arm and beat you to death with it in front of Jesus. You want that to happen? You want to make Jesus sad?"

"Why are you still here?" I was eight

"A lot of parents want grandkids, and so do I. But I don't want them from you. Let Nathan and Tami have the grandkids for me. You can just wait until I'm dead to have your own kids, okay?"
