Getting Roasted

The talks at church on Sunday were about mothers in the scriptures and how to follow their example. To break the ice a bit the speaker rattled off a list of things you would never hear a mom say. I sat there waiting for a laugh when I heard...

Hurry! Run and bring me the scissors
I don't have a kleenex, just use your shirt
Sure, you can have cake for dinner

I stopped listening after the third one and I felt myself sink lower and lower in my chair as I realized he must have spent the day eavesdropping in our house to compile his list.

that's funny, I'm guessing it was NOT a mom making those statements because who hasn't asked their kid to just "wipe it on your shirt!"? and really, even Bill Cosby commented on the benefits of cake for meals. Seriously!

Captian Crunch or Cake is there even a difference. Okay I might not say the shirt but I do say just wipe it in your pocket.
