My Mama Told Me

Very true things my mother has taught me:

• You should always have something in your closet that you can wear to a funeral, because that’s a terrible time to have to shop.
• You won’t stop feeling sick until you take a shower, put on real clothes and walk around some.
• Cottage cheese in lasagna is an unforgivable sin.
• Clean sheets are one of life’s greatest simple pleasures.
• It’s never too late to love something you were once terrified of.
