Do you ever feel like you’re turning into your mother?  People have been telling my sister and I for years and years, that we are soooooo like our mum.  Since becoming a mum, almost six years ago, I see myself becoming more and more like her.

I came across a great blog post at the weekend.  It was by Sharon Fitzgerald from A Flock of Fitzgeralds.  Sharon had stopped by my blog on the Friday Follow, followed me  and left a comment.  Therefore I, in turn, visited her lovely blog and was delighted to find her Saturday post called “Lessons My Mama Taught Me”.  It’s a list of 25 mama quotes and the lessons behind them.  I had a good chuckle reading the post, as it brought back many memories of my own childhood. 

Funnily enough, I’ve come to realise that I’m actually churning our these Mummy phrases to my five year old twins:

“Stop making that face!  The wind will change and it will stay that way!”

“Oh well, if you fall and break your leg, don’t come running to me!”

“You better finish all your dinner or you’ll not grow up to be big and strong and healthy!”

“Stop your crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!”

“There’s starving children in Africa that would be happy to eat your dinner!”

“Just you wait until your Dad gets home!”

“Take your jacket off, or you’ll not feel the benefit when you go outside!”
