Watching Hannity late at night, while finishing my dinner.  Lauding cops for saving a man from a burning car, when it shows the cops (male and female) fiddling around and this dude in shorts comes up and pulls the man from the burning vehicle while the cops basically did little but not obstruct the real hero (maybe they helped a little). Then he's praising the cops and not even mentioning the real mover and shaker, the one who really did the work ... a civilian in shorts and probably flip flops (need to see the tape again) .... sheesh.  I'm really getting disillusioned ... Had a decent 4 Kicks tonight along with the Fonseca Cuban Limitado (even better) with Jim Beam.

21. My mother taught me HOW TO BECOME AN ADULT. "If you don't eat your vegetables, you'll never grow up."

22. My mother taught me GENETICS. "You're just like your father."

23. My mother taught me ROOTS. "Shut that door behind you. Do you think you were born in a barn?"

24. My mother taught me WISDOM. "When you get to be my age, you'll understand."

25. My mother taught me JUSTICE. "One day you'll have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you."

How many of these did your mother teach? AND how many did you teach your children?
