Way to go mom! She didn’t try to make life fair. She told you to adjust or forget the girl. I wish more parents today would do that.

That is inspirational! I have never had a life experience that left me with such a catchy phrase, however a favorite quote of mine that my mother has told me for years is "Your eyes are located on your front side for a reason". Essentially saying that we should not stare into the past and dwell. It goes about hand and hand with "wearing pants" wouldn’t you say? lol.

Damien, great story and thanks for sharing. It actually came at a very appropriate time for me as I was sulking about something at work tonight and realized that I just needed to relax - although I chose to have a mixed drink instead of wearing pants, lol.

I don’t have any memory that I’ve turned into a phrase but yours has reminded me of this hilarious site I came across - Top 278 Star Wars Lines Improved By Replacing A Word With "Pants".

Damien, this is so true! When there’s a rich and meaningful story behind it, sometimes all it takes to reinvoke the memory or the lesson or whatever are just a couple of words!

Here’s one you might enjoy from my place: "light switch"

It’s all my wife and I have to say to get ourselves giggling uncontrollably…

I absolutely love it! (and your mom, too!) What a great story to remind us that sometimes there is a very simple solution to anything that might be bothering us. I might just have to adopt "Wear Pants" as a slogan around here!When my kids were younger, I always told them not to take the opinion of someone who is still losing their teeth. Everytime they’d come home from school and say "Tommy said my nose is weird" or whatever, I’d say, "Is Tommy still losing his teeth?"They’d smile and that was the end of that.
