Things Your Mom Was Totally Right\u00a0About<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

1.<\/span> Food. Literally. Cures. Everything.<\/h2>\n

And your mother\u2019s signature dish might have magical medicinal properties science has yet to understand. But your tummy certainly does.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2.<\/span> Don\u2019t burn your bridges.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"12<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Via gifbay.com<\/a><\/div>\n

You never know when you\u2019ll need to use one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3.<\/span> A gentleman is always prepared.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"12<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Via cheezburger.com<\/a><\/div>\n

No puddle is too deep, no favor too large, and no gap too wide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4.<\/span> Manners go a long way.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"12<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And<\/i> they help you get what you want.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

5.<\/span> You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince.<\/h2>\n

Ugh\u2026 amphibians can be such pigs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

6.<\/span> No one buys the cow if they can get the milk for free.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

Mom understood that all creatures act according to their nature. Cats, cows, guys at the bar\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

7.<\/span> Wear sunscreen.<\/h2>\n

No, but really: WEAR SUNSCREEN!!<\/i><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

\"No,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

8.<\/span> Your feet stink.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"12<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Via gifbin.com<\/a><\/div>\n

Closed-toe shoes were invented so people didn\u2019t have to smell feet anymore. Don\u2019t be parading yours around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

9.<\/span> Always. Bring. A. Coat.<\/h2>\n

\n

You will<\/i> get cold at some point while you\u2019re away from your home. She has never<\/i> been wrong about this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

10.<\/span> Stand up straight.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"12<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Via cheezburger.com<\/a><\/div>\n

Posture is important. You will look taller, more confident, and more handsome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

11.<\/span> Don\u2019t marry the first person you date.<\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\"12<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Remember how you and your high school sweetheart were \u201cmade for each other?\u201d Yeahhhh\u2026 maybe not so much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

12.<\/span> And finally: If you\u2019re feeling cranky, you probably aren\u2019t getting enough sleep.<\/h2>\n
