A Mother's Wisdom​

What is something your mother always said?

 

[Vinylted]

Don't pull faces, if the wind changes you'll be stuck with that one forever...

 

[LadyMoonlight]

Love many
Trust few
Always paddle
Your own canoe

When you name your own children, go out into the paddock and give the name a test yell......your's was ok TREVORRRRRRRRRRRRR!
If you cant yell it, choose another.

My mum always said when you want to pick a name for your new kid, stand on the back steps, yell the name for a half hour, then, if you can still stand the sound of it, that's the name you pick.

@Goodbloke your name is Trevor? Looks like yours and @LadyMoonlight's mums would've gotten along quite well I have a hard enough time naming pets. I can't imagine naming a human child.

Yes, my mother always said this as well! But more along the lines of... make sure the underwear you're wearing is clean and respectable. I don't think she ever thought there was a possibility of me going commando

Well that's just an awful thing to say to your child did you have any siblings?

One brother and two sisters. ..Full of airs and graces but a real mean tyrant behind closed doors..

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you were able to work past how badly that must have affected you emotionally because those kinds of things can have such a huge long-lasting impact.

If I had given birth to you first, you would have been an only child.

On names, my Parents named me Henry, then for the whole of my life called me Ted!
