how many of you have heard the term, "tables are made for glasses, not asses"? i've heard this phrase my whole life, and because of it, cringe when i see people sitting on tables. my children will hear this from me their whole lives too.

so, what kind of learned behaviors will you pass on to your children?

lol...ironically enough i am dealing with mine right now.
"don't tell me you don't like it until you try it!"

every damn night there is a fight over dinner unless it's pizza, chicken soup (campbell's canned), or mcdonald's...and besides the homemade pizza we don't do those often. so tonights pork roast, mashed red potatoes, and green beans met with a whine and grumble and a "i don't like some of those!"
so after about 5 minutes of timeout and 10 minutes of crying, dinner is being consumed.

Applies to some kids, too.

A lot of mine, I won't pass down, because I was one of five kids, and mine's an only child. "Don't light your sister's hair on fire" isn't likely to come up.

However, I did tell him to remove his fingers from the scissors blades just this morning.

My daughter is learning (from me not her picky father) that she needs to try everything before she decides that she doesn't like it.

"clean your plate"

To this day I still feel compelled to eat everything
even when I'm no longer hungry and

Ice cream trucks you know the one’s that come down your street
playing tunes? They make me sad. I must have not gotten to get ice cream
from them as a child and

"Never put a hat on a bed"

It seems that during WWII families would put a fallen serviceman's headgear
on his bed for a year.

I still can't to this day stand to see a hat on a bed!!!

Of course there was my Fathers' aversion to Wintergreen lifesavers that I loved as a Kid.
It seems that they used a Wintergreen deodorant to cover the smell of the fallen soldiers he flew home from Korea across the Sea of Japan in C-47's...

I have no idea, never thought about this much, I tuned out almost everything my mother said, and almost everything my father did... I've gotten good at tuning out, it's the only way I stay sane at work hearing the same muzak hour after hour. I think I heard Stars and Stripes Forever practically forever on July 5th. Oh well, still beats Celine Dion.

You faked it well :)
To this day, she still thinks that I had just gotten a stomach flu when I was caught passed out in French class after that trip to the park. You remeber the one...where you made that concoction out of your Da's liquor cabinet :D :drink:
