Mama Said

"Quit making that face"

Mama would say,

"It's gonna get stuck

and stay that way"

"Now eat your peas,

like you've got some sense,

"Go brush your teeth 

and make sure you rinse"

"Close that door,

was you raised in a barn?

"I heard what you said,

you better mean darn"

"Do as I say,

and not as I do,

"Go comb your hair,

what's wrong with you?"

Well, forty years later,

I'm as ugly as sin

Not a tooth in my head,

with peas on my chin

I cuss like a sailor,

my house is a dump

No hair on my head,

like a bald Forest Gump

I could have been normal,

but I chose this instead

Because I didn't listen,

to what Mama said

ha ha ha ha!!! love this! Oh my mom gave me those threats and I of course passed them along to my kids(in jest). I can just see "mom" in all her glory, and "you" in all of yours!

This made me laugh. That's why we should always listen to Mama.
