"You don't need training wheels." -my dad.

My great grandmother's worst advice: "Put turpentine on it." It was her cure-all. She claims she healed a sprained ankle from its application.

My mom used to tell me that I needed to stop making wisecracks, because "nobody loves a smartass." However, I've been able to find lots of women who loved a smartass. :dunno

"If you wash your hair every day it will fall out" -my grandmother

In the long run, I bet your mom will prove to be right. A quick witted sense of humor, yes. A smart*ss, no. (at least when it comes to women worth keeping)
