What has been the best advice that your mother has ever given you ?
Here is a collection of thoughts from our second graders :
* Don't bother her when she is on a business call.
* Wait 3 minutes after you eat, so that the food can digest.
* Never talk to strangers.
* Always stay on the right side when you are riding your bike.
* Read an hour instead of the half hour that the teachers want.
* Not to hang on the bars of my balcony because I could slip and fall.
* To breath in and out when you are nervous, and to stay calm if you forget your homework.
* Not to lie because otherwise you will never have friends.
* Always be yourself and never show off.
* Never kiss a dog and don't call God bad names.
* Ignore others when they say you have a crush on a boy.
