Like My Mother Always Said... - Wise Words, Witty Warnings, and Odd Advice We Never Forget

Don''t do as I do. Do as I say to do. We''re building your character.'' ''Don''t be impressed by a man''s car - he may be living in it.'' ''When poverty comes in the window, love goes out the door.'' Countess chestnuts like these are uttered by mothers far and wide -- and every child, has his or her own stories. You can''t get away from them because, everybody has a mother. And now Erin McHugh has collected scores of them for Like My Mother Always Said from all kinds of ''kids''-young and old, ordinary and famous. Including quip-length to two-to-three-paragraph tales, the book is divided up into all the kinds of wise and nutty information we garner from our mothers on subjects such as Life, Love & Marriage, Work, Money, Free Advice, The Opposite Sex, Bad Behavior, Growing Up & Getting Old and Family & Motherhood.
