I know that some of you count on this blog for great Mothers’ Day Craft ideas so I didn’t want to let you you down but after the link for the craft I included a little “Mothers Day Humor”
Nanny Gael Ann hasn’t been around much this year because she has a new charge but she did send me this cute Mothers’ Day project I wanted to share with today.

My friend Katie sent me this list. Katie and I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s when parents actually said these things to their children (and we all grew up in spite of it)
