These are great, Phoenix. Laughing

Thanks. And remember the one from Bambi? The one Thumper said: My Mama aways said if you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all. Thump thump thump

I know exactly what you mean, Phoenix. Laughing

Silence is Golden.

Oh, I remember another Mom one. I can still hear my mother singing:

I'm Popeye the Sailor Man, Popeye the Sailor Man,
I eats all my spinach
I fights to the finish
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.

She said if I ate all my spinach, I'd be big and strong like Popeye. (To this day, I've not been able to figure out why she thought her little girl would want to grow up to look like Popeye Confused
