In honor of Mother’s Day I thought it would be appropriate to share some of the pearls of wisdom that have fallen out of my mouth raising my children.

• We are a sharing family
• NO
• Stop licking the fish tank
• You can’t pick homework to give up for lent
• Go ahead, punch your sister
• One day you’ll wake up and realize you’re Indian and there won’t be any hot sauce
• Don’t be the smelly kid
• Do it now
• I invented that
• Yes, your sisters are mean
• What’s with these grades, have you forgotten you’re Asian?
• Why did you unfriend me?
• Don’t fall for the marketing
• I don’t know what to do
• Sure it’s ok to get a pet goat, turtle, (fill in the blank); they’re delicious
• Expiration dates are just a suggestion
• I’ll give you a dollar to clean your room
• The mailman or newspaper carrier is your real dad
• Who is raising you?
• I’m too young for this
• Yes, I know it’s 3pm (me wearing pajamas)
• Two out of three have to agree
• I’m not laughing AT you
• It’s ok, it’s called day drinking
• Stop getting tattoos
• You have velvet pants AND suspenders?

And most important,  

• Be kind, keep in touch and support each other; one day you’ll be the only ones who share your childhood memories
