[quote=Anonymous]My mom has a great sense of humor but never at the expense of other people. She grew up poor and worked 8 hours a day AND went to college full-time. She is unfailingly nice to everyone. I remember going with her as a child when she was canvassing for the American Cancer Society and we went to a trailer park in our community (I grew up in the rural south). I made some sort of unkind comment about an AirStream (they were NOT considered retro and cool then) and my Mom whirled on me and said, "That is someone's HOME and you NEVER make fun of where someone lives." Her philosophy of successful parenting was that you should strive to raise an adult who could live independently without you. She never once questioned my decision to move to DC, and was always entirely supportive. She is 92 and I talk to her every morning. We can still make each other laugh. Anything I happen to get right as a mother, I learned from her.[/quote]
