Things my mother has said to me in the last 48 hours that make me glad she’s my mom

by LesleyG on March 6, 2008

In talking about the election:

- Choices are no longer simple in this country. If you feel like there’s a lot of weighing of options, it’s because there is. We have to think carefully. Pay attention to the entire picture, not just one candidate.

- There are no celebrities in Congress or the House, remember that.

In talking about my food choices:

- So you had ice cream for dinner. There are worse things. Tomorrow you will have salad. (And I did.)

In talking about the state of my house:

- When school is finished, you will not remember the dirty toilet.

Hmm…not sure my mom would ever say that about ice cream for dinner…but then again, not sure I’d ever admit to ice cream for dinner to her!! :)

If you were to watch the news, you’d think the candidates were celebs. :/

Ice cream for dinner is totally ok. And your toilet? Yeah, you won’t remember it later.

That dirty toilet comment made me laugh.

Mom is funny.

We had a magic cleaning fairie come yesterday. It was magical.

My cleaning fairies are coming today!! There is nothing better!

Oh, and ice cream for dinner… totally okay especially when followed by a salad the next night.

Moms are wise people! ;)

I’m thinking I want the dirty toilet comment on my tombstone. And I think I love your mom.

Your mother is precious.

I like a clean toilet though. Okay, okay, so I don’t always live up to my tastes.

I hope I won’t remember that.
