母亲平凡的金玉良言

Every mom has a favourite quote and a special tone to scold or teach a lesson to their recalcitrant kids. We might hate this momism as a kid but we all so much miss them when we grow up. These motherly sayings go a long way in building us strong and making us a better person. Though we hate our moms for being so harsh in their statements, ironically we all use the same momism that we received from our mothers on our kids. Oh God, how much we appreciate our mothers for coming up with such perfect one liners.

每个母亲都有自己一套教训小孩的说辞和口气。小的时候我们憎恨这些字眼，但长大了又很怀念。妈妈的话指导我们变得更坚强、更优秀。虽然我们不喜欢妈妈训斥自己时的严厉态度，但我们往往沿用她们的话来教训自己的孩子。能想出这些经典语句的妈妈真是值得我们钦佩。

Here is list of most common and popular momisms. These motherly advise transcends the borders of time, space, language and culture. For kids are kids everywhere and Mom are always Mom...caring, concern, all knowing and full of love.
