Tell about some good advice your mother gave you.

There were may times that my mother gave me good advice and the one that sticks out in my mind the most was “The Holy Ghost goes to bed at midnight so be home before then.” It was good advice then and good advice now. Obviously the Holy Ghost never goes to bed but our ability to listen to him becomes more weak the later it becomes in the night or earlier it becomes in the morning. So when I was dating I was always asked to be home by midnight and knew that mom would be awake when I got there. Actually she was always awake until midnight or after and Saturday nights were especially bad because the kitchen floor had to be mopped before we could go to bed and it always seemed like it was almost midnight before we could get to it.
