Things my Mom taught me

There were a lot of different ones... I remember one time

I thanked her for teaching me how to tie my shoes.

But the one I've thought of lately (and Mom is sadly no

longer here to thank!) is how to hold onto the cuff of

my long sleeves before I put a jacket on, so the sleeve

doesn't get all bunched up.

Little things.

What a lovely thread.

Gosh, where would I start ?

My dad insisted I clean my shoes every day and taught me how to clean them properly. Then the Army taught me how to clean them properly properly. Sadly my dad is not around to see me not clean my shoes very often

Both my mum and dad taught me good manners

My Father Insisted that no-one mocked the village Idiot.... not until the blood tests were conclusive.

I taught my daughter to bunch up the legs of her tights and point her toe into them to get them on more quickly and cleanly. This tip was passed down from my mother.
