Do you still believe "mom warnings" even when you know they aren't true?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Not any that I can think of off the top of my head, but I’ve been noticing recently how I now don’t do things my mum used to tell me off for doing / said were bad habits. One example: dragging my heels as I walked; she’d tell me off for it a whole bunch when I was younger but I’m now concious of the fact that I don’t do it at all any more. I don’t know if this has “just happened” as I got older or if it’s due to her influence though. But I was always told to wait a while before swimming too >_>
