Rules For a Mother of a 14 Year Old Boy...

Love them forever (no matter what)
Take time off when they are teenagers not infants (you'll need it) 
Guide them to find the right path (other than a girl’s house) 
Use laughter whenever possible (it’s better than crying)
Use the strength god gave you (not to kill them)
Teach them right from wrong (and they will teach you words you wish you did not know)
When they call you for money let them earn it (Then hide your wallet until they are 18)
You will meet all their friends "IDUNO", "WASNTME", and "JUSTCAUSE" (Good Kids but they 
hang around to much)
Love them forever (no matter what)

This is so witty and sweet, Molly. Good advice for mothers of teens as well. Best wishes, Carolyn
