Momisms

When I was little my mom told me that her dad liked to say, "Don't be a jerk; get to work," or, "Don't be a fool; get to school." I've come up with a few of my own and every time I use them I think of my Grandpa Harris.

• Don't be a slob; finish the job.
• You're not a snail; don't leave a trail.
• Get the work done so you have time for fun.
• I'll have to add more as I remember them. My kids tell me I have too many slogans.

I also have some that don't rhyme:

• Don't follow the leader if the leader's going the wrong way.
• Do the right thing, at the right time, in the place, in the right way.
• Work hard, play hard.
• I can do hard things.
• I'll have to add more here later. Gotta go help Derek get his shoes out of Ahpa.
