20 Things A Mother Must Tell Her Son

I found this online today and absolutely loved it.  Some things for me to share with Sawyer over the next 16 years...

20 Things a Mother Should Tell Her Son

1. You will set the tone for the sexual relationship, so 

don't take something away fromher that you can't 

give back.

2. Play a sport.  It will teach you how to win 

honorably, lose gracefully, respect

authority, work with others, manage your 

time and stay out of trouble.   And maybe

 even throw or catch.

3. Use careful aim when you pee.  Somebody's 

got to clean that up, you know.

4. Save money when you're young because you're 

going to need it some day.

5. Allow me to introduce you to the dishwasher, 

oven, washing machine, iron,

vacuum, mop and broom.  Now please go 

use them.

6. Pray and be a spiritual leader.

7. Don't ever be a bully and don't ever start a fight, 

but if some idiot clocks you, please defend yourself.

8. Your knowledge and education is something that 

nobody can take away from you.

9. Treat women kindly.  Forever is a long time to 

live alone and it's even longer to

 live with somebody who hates your guts.

10. Take pride in your appearance.

11. Be strong and tender at the same time.

12. A woman can do everything that you can do.  This 

includes her having a successful

career and you changing diapers at 3 A.M.  Mutual 

respect is the key to a good

relationship.

13. "Yes ma'am" and "yes sir" still go a long way.

14. The reason that they're called "private parts" is 

because they're "private".  Please do

 not scratch them in public.

15. Peer pressure is a scary thing.  Be a good leader 

and others will follow.

16. Bringing her flowers for no reason is always a good

 idea.

17. Be patriotic.

18. Potty humor isn't the only thing that's humorous.

19. Please choose your spouse wisely.  My daughter-

in-law will be the teacher and nurturer of my grand
children.  

20. Remember to call your mother because I might be
missing you.
