Parental Wisdom Appreciate Prints

I should have listened to my Mum: 'Never sit down during the hunting season...'

"You're fatigued, run down, anxious, with high blood pressure, back ache, and a general malaise. You've got kids."

"Someday when you have a kid of your own and you feel the urge to arbitrarily say no just because you can, you'll understand."

"And you call yourself a marsupial?"

'I've fallen in love and i've fallen in porage and believe me: porage is better.'

'Well, put a jumper on if you're cold!'

"What did you learn in school today that I'd object to?"

'Except...That.'

'Do you mind if my son watches you cook? I'm trying to bring him up to be a vegetarian.'

"His room is always clean. Do you think we should take him to a psychologist?"

'We're not paprazzi. We're your parents.'

"Are you sure this is in your job description?"

"Go ask your mother."

"This is humiliating. Couldn't you drop me a block from school?"

'Mother knows best, Dear, so stop rolling your eyes.'

"Don't make me come over there."

'I don't mind them, but I would like to see my daughter getting married to one of them!'

A Victorian park.

"If it's important to you, Jessica. It's important to daddy, but I don't think it's important to you."

When we're first born, they clean up our drooling. When we can't swim, they help with our pooling. When halloween comes, they take us ghouling. When homework gets tough, they aid with our schooling. When it gets hot, they make sure we're cooling. Moms are the best! We thank you, no fooling!

"Do you provide any coupons that would allow me one free lie? It would help ease my conscience."

'Said once, and never again!'

$200,000 to raise a kid in America! Do you regret the expense? Of course not, sweetie! You're worth every cent. That's a relief. Because I need $20 for the movies!

'It's a little read book... the sayings of charwoman mum.'

"Oi you two! What going on in here?"

"It's summer, go outside and play."

"Nature, nurture or a bit of both?"

"I don't have a story, Tommy. I can offer a retrospective of your day, followed by a deep-dive to identify opportunities for improvement."

"Baldo, school has always been about learning, expanding your mind, becoming a better person."

"I've said it until I'm blue in the face - keep sitting on walls and something bad's going to happen. But what do I know? I'm just your mother."

'I should have listened to my parents and not run away to join the circus...'

'Come on Timmy, you must eat your greens.'

'People must be crazy to pay to hear a lecture! I get 'em free at home every day!'

'Mum,are we born from an egg?' 'No honey. People bring us at night'

'You won't understand it now, but when you have kids, you'll wish for a longer school day.'
