I found these sayings to be very inspirational for me today. I would like to share.

- Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.

- You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world.

- It is better to have loved and lost, then to never have ate a taco.

I so agree with the cherishing the children quote.

Won't go there today, but it's true!

I agree with all of these-only problem is I like my tacos with shreaded beef and not fish. I really do feel like an outcast.

All true and noteworthy. Thanks for sharing!

Michelle Pfiefer is still hot.

I take issue with your wanton and brutal attack on children.

Children should not remember you.

At all.

They'll also remember you for the punishments dished out.

I STILL remember the time when I got grounded for tracking tar from the streets getting repaved in my neighborhood.

I'm scarred for life. Really. How dare my mother. What's a little permanant tar??

I didn't even get any ice cream that week!

My own children tell me that they hate me daily for making them sit time out.

And my ex will never forget not being able to get ice cream after pushing his brother off of his tricycle. His brother doesn't even Remember it!!!

Good Gravy! All our problems are caused by our parents!!

But as long as kids know that they were loved and cherished, the parents have done their jobs.

I like "Children need your presence, not your presents." :)

And the taco saying is so profound! I will carry it with me all day...

another good one...." What if the Hokey Pokey IS really what it's all about?" I have that one in my kitchen.

See response #5.

It's the Human Vacuum defense.

Havard students combined with M.I.T. students to solve the "Hokey Pokey" issue.

The result of such a historic meeting of the minds was derailed for an impromptu Obama rally.

The one my mother loved was "Children should be seen and not heard, so SHUT UP!"

Melin2 08/05/2009

"I'm the mother, that's why! Don't ask any more stupid questions!"

Melin2 08/05/2009

"You are giving me a headache, go to your room!"

Is this called a TRIGGER????

deleted_user 08/05/2009

I love the 2nd one, I had a fortune cookie that read "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."

pretty much the same quote, but it's a good one!

- Mom - "Don't be a smart ass."

- Me - "ok, then I'll be a dumb ass."

- Mom *knocking me in the head*
