Every mom has a favourite quote and a special tone to scold or teach a lesson to their recalcitrant kids. We might hate this momism as a kid but we all so much miss them when we grow up. These motherly sayings go a long way in building us strong and making us a better person. Though we hate our moms for being so harsh in their statements, ironically we all use the same momism that we received from our mothers on our kids. Oh God, how much we appreciate our mothers for coming up with such perfect one liners。
每個母親都有自己一套教訓小孩的說辭和口氣。小的時候我們憎恨這些字眼，但長大了又很懷念。媽媽的話指導我們變得更堅強、更優秀。雖然我們不喜歡媽媽訓斥自己時的嚴厲態度，但我們往往沿用她們的話來教訓自己的孩子。能想出這些經典語句的媽媽真是值得我們欽佩。
Here is list of most common and popular momisms. These motherly advise transcends the borders of time, space, language and culture. For kids are kids everywhere and Mom are always Mom...caring, concern, all knowing and full of love。
