I'm not sure where I picked up this little clipping, but I have it on my fridge. I thought it might remind you of things your mom used to tell you, which I call Momisms.
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don’t take things that don’t belong to you.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play some and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup. The roots go down and the leaves go up and nobody really knows how or why but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup – they all die and so do we.
And then remember the Dick and Jane books and the first word you learned – the biggest word of all – LOOK.
