Apparently I hurt my mother's feelings with my last blog, by telling all three of you (my mother and two sisters) that I learned most of my lessons as a child from my teachers. This was false information, and to prove that my mother did her job well, I'm now going to list the important lessons I learned from my parents, which will exceed the four lessons I mentioned learning from my teachers.
1) You can marry more in a minute than you can make in a lifetime. Solid advice right there.
2) A clean floor = a happy mother = a happy family.
*Also, Marilyn Monroe got it wrong. Vacuums are a girl’s best friend, not diamonds.*
3) When working on duets with your sister, it is best practiced with a mother saying counts above you and your sister fighting.
4) Brush your teeth.
5) You also taught me how to tie my shoes. The right way.
6) You taught me how to drive. Sorry that I learned that one poorly.
7) The safest place to be when you're in trouble is your room. Hiding in the closet. Then, when your parents are terrified because they can't find you, they'll forget that they're mad at you (thanks to help from Kyla on learning that one)
8) Most importantly, though, you taught me that you should never ask your mother for advice. Because she'll say, "I'm not going to make decisions for you." And then when you make the wrong one, she'll just look at you disappointed-ly because you should have known better. Just make the wrong choice without asking her opinion, and then you can claim ignorance.
Also, you taught me that you should never give up. When it comes to piano. Other things (like cheerleading, club swimming, math club, and the Harry Potter series) are fair game for giving up.
And that’s what I learned from my parents.
