My mom taught me motivation:
If I find it, I'm tearing your tail up.

My mom taught me religion:
Lord if I have to tell this little girl one mo time....

My mom taught me energy conservation:
Girl if you don't turn that tv and radio off. You can't do both.

My mom taught me imagery:
Keep on, and I'm gonna knock your head off.

My mom taught me the art of critical thinking:
Do you think money grows on trees?

My mom taught me the power of storytelling:
We didn't ride to school like you all do. We had to walk 50 miles to school and that was one way . It only took us 5 minutes to get there. It takes you young people longer because you are so accustomed to the luxuries of life. After school, we did homework, washed clothes, prepared dinner, cut the grass, and tutored the neighborhood children.... , children of today have it too easy.
