How
many times have you heard someone say, "My mother used to say
that" and you responded with "My mother said that too!"? The
"words" or "sayings" may not always be the same, but usually
enough likeness abounds for you to recognize the thought right
away.
These "words" or "sayings" are not limited to any region of the
country, race or even social class and they prove that a common
language exists among mothers called "mother wit".
My
Mother Said That, Too! by Anne R. Harris is a collection of these
idioms from the author's mother as well as many other mothers
throughout the country. The purpose of the book is to help you
remember, laugh, cry, share and learn. 
Categories include:
- Analogies /
Comparisons
- Behavior
- Discipline
- In Other Words
- Superstitions
- Rhymes -
Vignettes - Poems
This superbly
amassed compilation deserves to reside on the nightstands and
tables across America.
