Mom and Dad's Pearls of Wisdom

Remember those memorable pearls of wisdom your mom and dad gave you while you were a child growing up? "Take all you want, but eat all you take." And even into adulthood. "Children become better children when they have children of their own." Included herein are 50 vignette moments - each concluded with its respective pearl of wisdom. Most are from Dr. Emener's parents and the precious moments when they said them to him; others he got from other people while walking a beach, at biker bars and dockside restaurants.
