Saturday 9

Mama Told Me (Not to Come)

Welcome to Saturday: 9.  What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions  every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random  questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants  posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your  choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Mama Told Me (Not to Come)

1) This song is about a lad who didn't take his mother's advice and attended the wild party anyway (hear it here). When you were young, did your parents approve of your friends? If you're a parent yourself, how have you handled it when your kids start hanging around with friends you're not crazy about?

My mom liked my friends (still does :) ) and my kids are 4 and 11 months so we haven't come across that problem yet.
2) A 2010 poll named Marge Simpson of The Simpsons the most popular TV mom of all time. Who is your favorite TV (or movie) mother?

Sophia Petrillo from The Golden Girls.
3) Crazy Sam's mother is a big fan of The National Enquirer. As she likes to say, "They were right about John Edwards!" Do you read the tabloids? Cast a guilty glance at them when you're in line at the store? Or ignore them altogether?

I look at the covers while I'm standing in line at the store but I don't put too much into them.

4) Mother Winters always gave Sam peppermint tea to calm her stomach. Do you have any tried-and-true home remedies to share?

Tums :)
5) Thinking of guts ... When making decisions, do you tend to consider all the options carefully or do you "go with your gut"?

A little of both.  I weigh my options but if my gut feeling is really strong, I'll go with it.
6) Spring is here! Do you have a green thumb?

Not really.  I once killed a Chia garden :P
7) Have you put away your winter clothes yet?

No but I need to because my closet is a mess.
8) After you lather and rinse, do you repeat?

No.

9) To celebrate Mother's Day, Sam is giving away Hershey bars. Would you prefer classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate with almonds?

Classic milk chocolate.
