Proverbs 1:8
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Mom has spoken.
Timmy, CLEAN UNDERWEAR?
Every kid has heard a version of this.
Wear a coat. Look both ways. And for the love of decency, put on clean underwear.
Solomon was not talking about laundry day. He was talking about wisdom that sticks — the kind a mother repeats until it lives in your bones. Some of it is eternal. Some of it is about not embarrassing the family in the ER.
Either way: do not forsake it!
