Your Mom Always Said This (And She Was Right)- 079

This Grit and Grace Life Podcast

Looking back we all recall the mom phrases: “Don’t roll your eyes, they’ll get stuck like that”, “If your friend jumped off a bridge…” and “Because I said so, that’s why!” These all-too-familiar phrases became ones we mouthed in the backseat of the car as we were growing up. There also may have been phrases like “I love you no matter what” that she never said, but you wished she would have. On this episode, Darlene and Julie revisit several expressions moms are famous for, as well as ones they didn’t say, but you needed. If you’re a mom, you will find yourself repeating these to your kiddos, because they were true then and still true now (and will continue to be for generations to come). A few are funny, several seem to have fallen on deaf ears but deserve a fresh look, and then there are the nuggets of pure wisdom that bear repeating.
Listen now, and maybe give your mom a call! She would love to know that you did occasionally hear what she said!
