What Would Sylvia Say?

Today we'll keep it to a few of the basics....

• "I don't care what <so-and-so>'s mother lets her do.  When she's your mother, you can do it too.  But as long as I'm your mother, the answer is NO!"                                              
• On the subject of mini-skirts: “That one barely covers the waterfront!”                                                                               
• After being pestered to let me taste the baking chocolate because I didn’t believe it wasn’t delicious: “I told you so.”                   
• "A little dirt never hurt anybody.”                                                           
  
• “That’s not nice.”                                                                          
  
• “Time to rise and shine!” (generally followed by a growl from me when she pulled up the venetian blinds)                           
• and the unfailing "Because I'm the mother!!"
