Hey Pandas, What Did Your Parents Tell You That You Will Always Remember?

As we grow, our parents are there to guide us along the way. And as we learn the ins and outs of life, they offer us advice on what the important things really are. They give us knowledge for us to pass onto our own children, and for those children to continue passing on. So, what was the advice you were given that you'll never forget?

if you get in a fight don't kick them while they're down but aim for the throat so they go out faster and fall down for extra damage! ~ my dad

My mom used to say a whole bunch of cute idioms, and I didn't realize that I had started to say them to my kids as they are growing up. They just make too much sense! lol

"Z wygupiania jest bieda" ---- when you engage in horseplay, someone will get hurt

"Kto nie ma w glowie, ma w nogach" ---- if you don't use your head, you end up using your legs (meaning, if you forgot to bring something with you, you end up walking all the way back to get it).

"kiedy sie spieszy, diabel sie cieszy" ---- when in a hurry, the devil is happy (meaning if you're rushing, late or in a hurry, you are more prone to make bad mistakes)

"jaki poniedzialek, taki caly tydzien" ---- what your monday is like, is what the rest of your week will be like

She passed away 15 years ago, but I feel like I am passing on a little bit of her whenever I say them to my kids.

We have a saying in Greece that is a lot like your #2. "Whoever doesn't have a brain, has legs". Hehe! It means, basically, that if you don't use your brain, you're gonna have to do extra effort to do whatever you're trying to do (totally includes your meaning about having to go back to get something one forgot too!)

My brothers and I are close in age and they would terrorize me when we were little. One day my mom was fed up with the running and screaming so she told me "Don't get mad get even." So I turned around and tried to tickle them instead and we took off giggling. Never realized until I was an adult that she might have picked it up from Animal House.

Don't start a fight but if you're in one you better finish it.
If you're going to drink alcohol do it at home.

Dad: "You're worthless!"
Mom: "You'll do great, I trust you."

And that's the basic dichotomy in my thinking to this day.

"Distilled water will kill you."

I checked this one when I grew up. It's not wrong. Water toxicity is a thing, and it occurs much more quickly with distilled water than regular water.
