I listed some things moms never say so I decided to list some of what many have heard. Read it for enjoyment knowing that our mothers were concerned for us and for many of us helped form who we are today. I got these off the internet. Thank you mom.
MOMISM
Mothers are the sweetest part of our lives. They are the person who is the most concerned about us throughout their lives. They not only shower their blessings upon us but also fully exercise their right to scold us. Of course the reason behind their doing so is again our betterment and they are only interested in making us better human beings and successful personalities. Still whatever they say seems so very musical to our ears. Is not it? Check it yourself.
