“When your mother asks, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it is a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway.”
Erma Bombeck
“I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: ''Checkout Time is 18 years.''”
“When a child is locked in the bathroom with water running and he says he's doing nothing but the dog is barking, call 911.”
“Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After twenty-two years of child-raising, they are unemployed.”
“My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.”
“Phrases and their actual meanings: "My teacher has never liked me." Expect a phone call before lunch from the teacher informing you that your child has been launching hot dogs by compressing them inside a small Thermos and then removing the lid quickly.”
“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”
Anne Frank
