Things My Parents Told Me

  
                                                 My dad, Joseph and my mom, Camilla

      During a thunderstorm you're scared witless, your parents tell you the angels are bowling in heaven.
I asked my mother once why I had little white marks on the top of my fingernails, her reply, "you get them when you tell a lie."
You ask your parents where you came from, their reply "we found you under a cabbage leaf in the garden."
You're about to get a spanking, your parent says, "This hurts me worse than it hurts you." oh really, why am I the one crying.
"Go to sleep so Santa can come." You eventually find out Santa ain't never coming and he is, in fact, your parents.
"Don't stare at the sun, you'll go blind." well it probably was a good idea not to stare at the sun.
"Don't go swimming after you eat, you'll get cramps and drown." this one may have some medical proof to back it up, I have yet to research it.
You're at the doctor about to get a shot, "This won't hurt a bit." It didn't hurt a bit, it hurt alot.
"This medicine tastes good." I wised up to that one and found out if I held out they would pay me some money to take it, 50 cents bought alot back then.
"The tooth fairy didn't make it last night, she'll be here tonight." The tooth fairy a.k.a. your mother fell asleep and didn't put the money under your pillow.
These are a few of the things my parents told me. It makes me laugh now.
