Hypocrisy

Here are a few things I've said recently that made the earth underneath my feet shake violently:

• Eat your peas.
• Don't eat the cookie dough! It's got raw egg in it!
• If you turn the volume up one more time, it's going in the closet and not coming back out.

It just so happens that the voice inside my head belongs to my mother. My mother twenty-some-odd years ago.
