Comments
My mother tried to teach me how to sew. That didn't go so well.
David - I'm sure your mom is totally proud of you :)
Diane - My sewing lessons didn't take.
Rachna - Oh, yes...The Dreaded Room Cleaning :)
Linda G and Melissa - I think so :)
Rula - Ballet and walking with a book on my head helped a lot. Of course, now I have a flat head LOL!
CATachresis - Hmmmmm :)
Lexa - I fail, too, but I always hear her voice when I do.
Mary - I use it the most!
Liza - She was awesome :)
Jan - I had a great mama :)
Shelley - She was. At least I think she was :)
Jo-Anne - #1 is very important.
tfwalsh - I'm glad my mom was a good cook! Most of her lessons took root.
I can remember how no.#3 went hand-in-hand with "children should be seen and not heard"...
