Mom-isms

Yes...slowly but surely I am becoming my Mom!! I look like her, I act like her and more and more I'm talking like her. Monday on the way home from picking Anna up from school...I said it! She had the window down with her arm hanging out and I said, "You be careful or you're gonna draw back a bloody stub!" It always worked on me when I was a kid...Mom put the fear into me that if I put my hand out the window I would be one handed for the rest of my days!! :) It didn't work so much for Anna, she just asked, "What's a bloody stub?" Another "Mom-ism" is, "You better knock it off or I'll take you down a few notches!" Not sure what that really meant other than we knew she was serious and we better straighten up. I didn't hear that as much as my brother!! :) One of my favorite, "If in doubt, don't." I may still hang my hand out the window but I will always follow this last one...and it has proved true over and over again!

Cheri Colter, our pastors wife, shared in bible study this past week that she has found her daughter using the same lines on her kids that were used on her...so it's not just me!! Just curious...how are you becoming like your mom and what do you think of that??

btw...this little beauty of a picture was obviously taken in the early 70's...one of my favs! :)
