'Mama Always Said....' What's the Best Advice Your Mother has Ever Given You?
In honor of Mother's Day on Sunday, we're asking New Baltimore/Chesterfield Patch readers to share their mom's best advice.
In life, you could count on Mom to be the person to tell you right from wrong.
No matter if she was telling you to wash your hands after playing in your sandbox, not to cuss or she'd wash your mouth out with soap or simply, that "life is like a box of chocolates..." (à la Forrest Gump), she was giving out her best advice and you were listening.
Check out what some readers below had to say, and then tell us your mother's favorite words of wisdom and we'll add it to the list.
From all of us, here at Patch, Happy Mother's Day!
Here's what some readers said on the New Baltimore-Chesterfield Patch Facebook page.
Patricia Johnson: Get an education!
Scott Myers: Don't poke your sister in the eye.
Kristen Skladd: Never go to sleep angry.
Judith Prawdzik Gates: Be home before the street lights turn on!

My mom always told me (and pushed and prodded me) to follow my dreams. Thanks Mom!

My mom told me to buy my husband's shirts a size too small and let his gut stretch out the wrinkles to save me on ironing! Wise woman that she was, she also advised all of us girls to forget "wring around the collar"...just tell the slobs to wash their necks more often. I miss you, mom.

My mom always said "Don't worry about it! A hundred years from now you'll never know the difference!" Miss you Mom!
