What did you have drummed into you in childhood that you find difficult to throw off to this day?

Not to go out with wet hair.

Not to wear my coat indoors as i wont feel the benefit when i go outside!

That I was always the one to blame... that I should feel guilty about something or other

That you should respect your elders

That table manners are very important

That you should never just put your hand down a womans panties.... titts first she's not a slag

Don't whistle...especially indoors...but as a woman I shouldn't whistle at all. "A whistling girl and a crowing hen will never come to a good end"

Don't eat raw oatmeal. It will give you worms.

Always bow to the wishes of your elders. They're disappearing rapidly now so people should start listening to me.

Never eat on the street. It makes you look like they don't feed you at home.

This is a combination of both my grandmothers,my parents and some really scary dictatorial artwork in my first grade classroom.

There are several things..:

Not drinking the rest of the milk from my cereal bowl

Not crumbling crackers into my soup

Not talking with food in my mouth

Not belching with my mouth open

Yes, most are table manners.....

Something about our family being Ranchers from way back. That I am in fact A Gaucho, and always will be.

I am I must admit a quite fine equestrian

Table manners... but now when I meet people who don't have table manners I'm just impatient and kind of disgusted. I think it's actually a curse.

Never spend more than you earn and never borrow money.
