Dankie, ma -- of nie?!

Dit is nou maar so dat ma-wees op een-en-dieselfde lees geskoei is die wêreld oor.

Oor dié saak het die bekende komediante, Anita Renfroe, haar gedagtes laat gaan en teken die volgende woordprentjie daaromtrent -- tog sooo bekend, of hoe?!

"What I have done is I have figured out what a mom would say in a 24 hour period, and I have condensed it to 2 minutes, 55 seconds. So strap on your seat belt, here we go.”



“Get up now, get up now, get up out of bed
Wash your face, brush your teeth, comb your sleepy head
Here's your clothes and your shoes, hear the words I said
Get up now! Get up and make your bed.
Are you hot? Are you cold? Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and your gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget! You got to feed the cat.

Eat your breakfast! The experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall.
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at three today.
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon, so you must play.

Don't shovel, chew slowly, but hurry, the bus is here.
Be careful, come back here, did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside, don't play rough, would you just play fair?
Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share
Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare
Get along, don't make me come down there
Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away
Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn?, would you like some hay
Can you even hear a word I say?

Answer the phone! Get Off the phone!
Don't sit so close! Turn it down! No texting at the table!
No more computer time tonight!
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up!

Where you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me, makes you welcome everywhere you roam.
You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grown.
Can't wait 'til you have a couple little children of your own

You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me.

Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate
Take a bite, maybe two of the stuff you hate
Use your fork, do not you burp, or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, Get the door, don't get smart with me
Get a Grip, get in here I'll count to 3
Get a job, get a life, get a PhD
Get a dose of reality

I don't care who started it! You're grounded until your 36!
Get your story straight, and tell the truth for once for heaven's sake!
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before that:
You're too old to act this way! It must be your father's DNA!
Look at me when I am talking. Stand up straighter when you walk.
A place for everything, and everything must be in place.
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about! Oh!

Brush your teeth, wash your face, get your PJs on.
Get in bed, get a hug, say a prayer with Mom.
Don't forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends!
You don't need the reason why!
Because! Because! Because! Because!
I said so! I said so! I said so! I said so!
I'm the Mom! The mom! The mom! The mom! The mom!

Ta-da!"
