My own mother gave me some splendid advice when I was growing up. Unfortunately, much of Mom’s advice shed light on nothing. Absolutely nothing at all.

asked was, “Check his underwear to see if it's clean.” 

Upon finding my underwear not clean, they refused me any medical
attention and sent me back to my mother. To this day, I am paranoid 
about wearing clean, fresh underwear each day. I have my mother to 
thank for that. 

Looking back at what I learned after years of hearing my mother's
advice, I have only one piece of wisdom to pass on to you for those 
moments with your mother. The next time your mom makes one of those 
parental off the wall statements, just smile and ask her, “When you 
were my age, did you walk to school or carry your lunch?” 

She'll be confused, and you'll be even. 

The one thing my mother did that I will always be grateful for is that
she encouraged me to read my Bible. She bought my first Bible for me 
and encouraged me to read and study it each day. 

In that Bible, as a young person, I ran across a verse of scripture that
has stood me in times of trouble. “Trust in the LORD with all thine 
heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways 
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5 6). 

Thanks Mom and Happy Mother's Day.
