#56: Mom’s Greatest Hits

We’re all familiar with the greatest hits of our mothers- the things they’ve said over and over again throughout our childhood that are just carved in our brains. When we grow up, we all say we won’t end up like our parents and we’d raised our children differently, but eventually, your mom’s greatest hits come in handy.

As kids, it was devastating when we wanted to eat out (junk food, most of the time) and our moms said “there’s food at home”. But as adults, we understand where they were coming from- they were just trying to be practical and frugal. You can’t always eat out, and you can’t always eat junk food. You have to eat your vegetables!
