Hopefully she wasn’t speaking from experience! 🙂
Probably. Mom was a rather headstrong child, with 12 older brothers and sisters who all tried to be her mother.
Wow, that was a large family! She might not have had a minute to herself to try it! 🙂

Good advice from your mom. 😉
Very true and I did listen to her, even though I am certain she watched me grow up believing I never heard a word she said… lol
Unfortunately, I often tried to figure things out for myself. Ouch! 😉
