What I Have Learned

What I’ve learned from my mother - Enjoy the moment, be easy, treat people well and multiply. What I’ve learned from my father - Dance like no one is watching and you will get by. What I’ve learned from my stepfather - If you keep your mouth shut no one will know you’re stupid. What I’ve learned from my grandmothers - Change your underwear everyday and you’ll find your cupid. What I’ve learned from my sisters - Laugh like theres no tomorrow and defend the defenseless. What I’ve learned from my brothers - It’s ok to laugh at the past even if the pain was senseless. What I’ve learned from my wife - Enjoy the moment, learn to be easy, treat everyone with kindness, and thank God at every feeding. What I’ve learned from my ex-girlfriends - If you see it in your dreams then they must be guilty of cheating. What I’ve learned from my friends - Compliment your girlfriends, wives, and lady friends when you see them getting fatter. What I’ve learned from my children - It’s ok to forgive every single time, because love is all that matters.
