What My Mom Taught Me When I Was a Kid

If you are in your 40's, 50's, or even 60's this is going to seem all too familiar.  I think mom's from those decades were all on the same page about how to raise their kids and loved teaching their kids about a wide variety of subjects.  I came across this on What Were You Doing In The 60's? Facebook page and could relate to a few of these.  How about you?

1. My mother taught me about WEATHER = "Your room looks like a tornado hit it."
