Murphy’s Laws of Motherhood
Mothers only offer advice on two occasions- when you want it, and when you don’t.
If you can’t remember whether or not you called your mother – you didn’t.
The motherly advice you ignore will always turn out to be the best advice she ever gave you.
Never criticize your mothers cooking if you expect to get any more of it.

                                                        
HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY
