In Honor of Mother's Day:

Here are some things my mom taught me …

My mother taught me the CIRCLE OF LIFE.
"I brought you into this world, and I can take you out."

My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION.
"Stop acting like your father!"

My father and mother taught me about CHOICE.

The wife and I were in our favorite drinking establishment this past weekend and we were sitting close enough to two younger men, in their 20’s, so that it was impossible to not overhear their conversation.
One of them was worried about how tired his friend looked. “Man you look bad. Are you feeling okay? You sick?”
The other one replied, “I’m exhausted. I really like this girl I’m seeing and I damn sure don’t want to lose her, but she’s killing me with wanting sex all the time. It was great for a while, but she’s wearing me down.”
Not wanting to be nosy or intrusive, but having much wisdom in this matter, I couldn’t help but offer the guy some advice that I truly felt would help his situation.
I leaned towards him and said, “Marry her. That’ll put a stop to that shit.”
