Hello to you listening in Galiano Island, B.C. Canada!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

Maybe like me your mom said: “You’re the oldest! You should know better.” Why? You think I went to Know Better School?

But I can’t blame my mom; it seems that they all went to Mom School. How else do you explain that what moms say to their children day in and day out is understood practically all over the world?

Take 3 minutes to listen to stand-up comedian Anita Renfroe sum up all the things that a mother says to her children - Momisms - set to the William Tell Overture. See how many you remember from your childhood. And which you say today to motivate your own kids.

William Tell Momisms Lyrics

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 gotta 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 or I'll count to 3
Get a job, get a life, get a PhD
Get a dose of...

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!
