Things my mother told me
If you drink cordial it will give you cancer (forcing my sister and I to drink a table spoon of cod liver oil every morning was apparently to prevent us getting cancer although we over threw that many years ago and have remained strangely cancer free)
If you wear a tampon you won't be a virgin (she was worried paranoid about toxic shock and thought she was onto a winner with this tactic)
You should wear crushed velvet to your first concert. Everyone will be wearing velvet!
It's fine to smoke a joint if you have your period
If you're going to have sex, have it at home where you'll be safe.
A poofter is a bad word for a man who loves other men. Your uncle Keith loves other men!
People over forty don't have sex (claimed after I walked in on them having sex)
Yes, I am a hippie hahahahaahahah
It's socialist not socialite (After I'd thanked my lover of men uncle and founding member of the Australian Socialist party for sending me the "young socialite" magazine)
