MAMANOMICS
"Mamanomics"
Mama taught me sharing, caring, familial stewardship, as a child.
When I was a teenager in 1968, being their eldest of their 8 children living at home , she said:
"If you should someday only have one piece of bread, cut it into 1/8s, and share it with your brothers and sisters . Do not eat it all by yourself. Then, they may do the same thing for you, in turn from your example."
Since then, I have tried to apply. this enduring "family" principle with my "brothers and sisters" wherever they may be, and whoever they are.
I call this "mamanomics," a blend of mother's wit, love, and economics!
