Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!
Okay so I'm watching the news the other day and they were speaking of how Bed Bug Rates are surging! And I was having this discussion with MMB on just how they come about. Bed bugs are outside bugs and they can attach to your clothing. So when you come home and head straight to your bed, then "TAAAAAAAAADAAAAAA" they get in your bed. So then I proceeded to tell MMB that I have never ever in my natural born life seen them or had them and then I started to remember.
When I was younger, my mother and father, just like so many mothers and fathers, use to stress just how important it was to remove your outside clothing, and take a shower before you got in your bed...And... she use to fuss at you if you sat on her bed with your clothes on.... Hmmmmm..... How bout when I was younger, I thought it was just another reason to fuss... Never thought it made any sense.
Which brings me to today's rant. There are soooo many things that your parents and your elders told you when you was young that never ever made any sense to you. And some will never probably make sense. But in the end, most of the time, they were right. Damn! As an adult, we sometimes hate to admit that our parents were right! No one likes to believe an old soul! If I had a dollar for every time both my parents were right I would probably be a semi-rich woman. As a woman, I have to admit my faults, as much as I hate to!
I have had a full life, I guess, but there is still so much more for me to learn. It seems hard to think that GOD intended for us to learn all of life's lessons in one lifetime! Hmmmm...Maybe all the things that our parents told us is supposed to make up for the rest of things that we just will never have the time to learn on our own!

Excellent post. You definitely made me think. I also thought my mom was just trying to fuss about one more thing, but thanks to you, I know there was a purpose for her making me take my clothes off & taking a shower before getting into bed. Thanks!
