My mother used to say things just to make me . Like most teenagers, I thought I knew . And what I didn’t know, I didn’t want to . For example, if I said I was going to a movie, my mother would roll(转动)her eyes. On my way out, she’d shout: “You need to slow yourself down before something happens! You don’t want to learn that the hard way!” I didn’t know what that . I thought she just wanted me to stay home.
Many years later I had three teenagers my own. They thought they knew everything. I would say the same things to them my mom. That’s when I first saw it. My mother wasn’t trying to make me stay at home. She was trying to help me.
Why do we always have to learn things “the hard way”? Why can’t we just accept our wisdom? It’s a good lesson for anyone. Obviously(显然),I still haven’t learned it. Yesterday, I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone in the kitchen. Grabbing(抓) a towel, I ran the house. I grabbed the phone and hit my left foot against the table. The X-ray showed that I’d broken two toes.
We all need to slow ourselves down once in a while, before something bad does it for us. My mother was right about a lot of things. I wish I could have told her.
