What’s something your parents used to say that you never understood as a kid — but now hits way too hard as an adult?
Growing up, I used to roll my eyes every time my mom or dad dropped their “words of wisdom.” Half the time it sounded like random adult nonsense, or just stuff parents say to irritating you.
But now? Damn. I catch myself quoting them or realizing “oh shit, that’s exactly what they meant.” Turns out, they actually knew what they were talking about.
What’s something your parents (or grandparents, or any adult) always said that made zero sense when you were younger — but now you finally get it? Maybe something you once swore you’d never say it, and now you do 😂
