Be good, and if you can't be good be careful!

Actual conversation held almost daily at my house:
Mom (that's me): Good bye! Have fun! Be good!
Either Kid: Make up your mind!

Take your time,gettin' older ain't all what it's cracked up to be, If I would'a known I was gonna last this long, I'd have taken alot better care of myself.When ya get to be my age,It'll take you all night long, just to accomplish what you used to do all night long. There you have all the wise sayings that my father passed down to me, I in turn passed on to my boys,and will probably have to pass on to my grandchildren as well, considering the smirks and cross ways looks and rolling of eyes, I have recieved by way of thanks. I wasn't ever like that when I was their age!....was I???? Peace,-Biskit-

Sincerity is the most important thing in life,& once you learn how to fake it you've got life by the b*lls.

Yeah, well.......Don't do anything I didn't do and if you do, do it better. You have the rest of your life to be old, but only a short time to be young. Go get some gravel in your shoes.

Got any Gems of wisdom to pass on to an 18 year old boy on the occasion of his birthday.
