Greendragonlady, I agree. My grandkids are much smarter than their parents and I like them a whole lot better. My mother repeated so many of those. One more is Do As I Say, Not As I Do. That one never made sense, even when I was little. MaryW

Mary, I have an opinion about why that one never made sense to you.. Your Mother never did things (at least that you knew about) that you were forbidden to do.. Mine did , and when we would call her on it, she would say "Do as I say, Not as I do." She would eat the whole bowl of boiled peanuts, but if we tried it, we were severely punished.. That is just one example..As she got older she learned not to do things like that..(or hid them better) LOL Sew With Love
