The Mommy with the Best Mom-ism Wins

If you’ve ever read my blog, you’ve probably met my Mom. At least the blog version of my Mom- but I promise you that she is just that weird in real life, too!
So I opened a magazine today, and there was an article titled, “Are We All Destined to Become Our Mothers?” I didn’t actually get to read the article due to a fit of hysterical laughter. But the title made me stop and think. And I came to the realization that yep, I’m doomed. I don’t even have kids yet, and I’m already my mother!
It’s the sneaky little things. Like when the words “Store brand is just as good as name brand”, and “I’ll bet you a dollar you can’t tell the difference” came out of my mouth. Or when I first muttered the words under my breath, “Skinny B****” at some model-esque woman who asked for size 00 jeans at Gap. Or when I told my dogs, “I don’t care if you don’t like what you are having for dinner, eat it or I’ll rub it on you.”
Ahh memories.
For better or for worse, I think we all have some of our mother in us. Some of us have it deeper down than others, and some (like me) have it right at the surface.
That can be a blessing and a curse, of course. I struggle with many of the same things my Mom does- my ever changing weight, my desire to shop without limitations (like money!) and being married to someone who doesn’t always understand the need to rearrange furniture on a quarterly basis. But the blessing is that I know that the best furniture is the stuff you had in the other room, that children/husbands/dogs don’t really care what brand food you made as long as you made it, and that shopping, like bathroom trips, are best done with a friend (like Mom).
And besides, after 28 years of hearing all sorts of Mom-isms, I’m kind of looking forward to telling my unsuspecting children my personal favorites: “The Mommy with the best-behaved children in the library wins a prize” and that “Yes, your brains will leak out if you pierce your ears before you’re sixteen” and “No I’m not lying, ask your father.”
What is your favorite Mom-ism that you’re carrying on to the next generation?

This is definitely my most-dreaded, but most often used:
“I will pull this car over if you two don’t stop (insert ridiculous, obnoxious behavior here) this instant!!!!” But unlike my mom, I WILL.

With anything- broken arm or stubbed toe my mom would always say “Oh, you’re FIIIIIIIINNNNEE”. I hated it. But now I say it to my son every time he starts to fuss!

“Here, let me get you a napkin.”
(My mother is a napkin fiend and to this day, I can’t even eat an apple without wanting a napkin handy. Thus I’m constantly thrusting one at my 2-yr-old…who has finally started to use one!)
