Don't

You just can't make stuff up like this!

While visiting with a doctor friend he related a story from his early years.  He was in the room during a colonoscopy when the patient, a 30 something female who was kind of bumpkin, reached back to swat at the wand, then said "Bobby, I told you we ain't doing that!"  My friend said it was several minutes before they could proceed since they were laughing so hard.  Then as everything calmed, someone in the room wondered what was Bobby trying to do?  Inquiring minds....  I wonder if that lady got a discount for entertainment?

My mom always told me in a tone that only mothers can command, "that's nasty.  Don't put your fingers back there."  I believed her and all these years later follow that same premise.  Now I wonder will I tell the doctor "that's nasty" when it's my time?

Mothers are founts of information and don'ts.  Don't pick your nose.  Don't eat it.  Don't wipe that on your arm!  Don't say that word.  Don't run in the street.  Don't play with that.  The don'ts are endless.

Looking back I think they are also on the money.  LOL  The wisdom of mothers is beyond explanation.  Thank goodness I've got one that taught me the don'ts and yes, I've passed them on to my children.

Long live Texas!
