We all have some kind of story to tell within our past, and I hope you will find my inspiring life quotes both entertaining and interesting. This is my way of dealing with certain issues growing up to the present day. I love reading inspirational quotes on life, especially if someone has events that happened in their childhood. I find these raw innocent happenings both amusing, and at times sad. To be able to turn something from the past into happy memories will give you your personal life quotes. Try to think what your own inspiring life quotes would be about, and please post yours at the end of this article. laughing is good for the soul, and funny quotes, inspiration, humour, and life are all part of our human existence on this planet. So let me share mine with you.

My Inspiring life quotes

1) As much as you may want to your family pet does not wish to have a bathe and pamper session with you.

  • When i was very young I had a Labrador called Rex, and he was my best friend. Every week I used to bathe him in the tub above the cries and pleas for help. He would howl and whine and yelp to no avail, as in my little head I thought he would feel much better afterwards. The cat Tiddles was next on my list, and proved a little more difficult to hold in the tub. I never did get as far as putting shampoo on her head before she would made a quick get a way, leaving me scratched and dismayed at how much better I could have made that ungrateful cat feel
  • I thought maybe some gentle grooming with a brush would bring her around, but no way would she give in. Have you ever seen a cat smile? Mine did the day I fed my pet budgie a five pound note, leaving the poor thing to it's own fate. I consoled myself with the thought that if I had tried the wash and blow dry technique on poor budgie, he surely would have drowned.

2) when your parents are angry never let them near your hair or nails and never agree to bath time.

  • To this day I can not allow anyone to clip or manicure the nails on my hands or feet. The thought makes me cringe, and the memory of an angry mom cutting my nails to the quick haunts me still. Oh the pain I felt, (OK slight exaggeration here) and the sight of those tiny globules of blood easing their way out from under my nail bed. She was fine when she wasn't distracted but god help us all if her and dad were in a bad place.
  •  Going to school on an angry parents hairdo is no joke. I arrived at school with a ponytail so tight and looking like a geisha, but not even my friends could loosen the professional binding my mother had created. I have short hair now and hate having my hair tied back. Once she cut my fringe, a trim she said, but I don't call having to walk around looking like a Munster a trim.

3) The eyes in the back or your parents head, only works when you have done something wrong.

  • A short example of this is my brother used to wind me up and hit me all the time, but as soon as I hit him back those eyes in the back of mom and dads head would suddenly spring to life. My parents only ever saw me hitting him, so remember the first hit is free, but the second hit is bedtime.

Do not feed with notes

4) Don't ask your pet dog to watch your food (unless it's sprouts or some other ghastly veg you hate).

  • As loyal as your doggies may seem, you must remember there is an animal instinct to survive, and asking your best friend to watch your food while you go do something is a big mistake. However this can be used to your advantage, but may get the best Buddie you ever had in your life in big trouble. I used to do this all the time, and poor Rex was threatened with the dog pound on so many occasions he began to think it was a treat. I used this technique mainly for sprouts and beef which I actually love now.

5) When your mom decides to cut your hair because she thinks she could have been a hairdresser, do not sneeze, or laugh, in fact just don't breath.

  • No more said re: The incident with the fringe trim. I have a picture of me at the beach on a Donkey and I looked more like a Donkey than he did.

6) Never try using a hoover to clean out your hamsters cage with the aforementioned hamster inside.

  • Poor hammy had to be cut out and rescued. The budgie would have gone the same way if I hadn't already killed him with the five pound note.

7) Never wear brown second hand paisley underwear when you know you have a sports lesson at school.

  • Oh the shame of my sisters hand me down knickers will haunt me forever. Sitting crossed legged with only my underwear for cover I studied my friends knickers, looking at the Monday, Tuesday logos, and the pretty pink Disney ones. Can you picture the scene? Needless to say I binned them and told mom the washing machine must have ate them like it did all the socks.

8) Whenever you are feeling sad go and play with your big sisters new make up and your brothers best loved car collection.

  • No apologies here as this was pay back for all the times I took the blame for them.

 I hope you have enjoyed my inspirational quotes on life because they are after all a part of me and probably a part of you too. Inspiring quotes are in all of us from growing up to adult hood and I would love to here your life quotes whether they are witty or sad.

Enjoyed this hub a lot and your very personal touch! Love the lab pic. Had a couple of blondes and blacks. I esp laughed: The eyes in the back or your parents heads, only work when you have done something wrong.

Hey, that is going to be one of my hubs. Although my quotes are quite different, being that I live in the states. I have some really interesting ones also. Number 4 is cute, my kids probably used that one when they had food they didn't like. Some I don't understand, because of the cultural difference, like #7. Anyway I really liked the hub.

I think I may have corrected it now and made it a little more universal.

Fantastic. I have never had the chance to wear second hand paisley knickers but I did wear old holey whitey tighties as we called them in my house. I guess that comes from being the third boy in a row. Oh how I used to wish for the "new underwear" fairy to come to my house.

tdarby: I am so glad you get me on this one. Growing up and wearing my sisters second hand clothes was bad enough but the undergarments were the last straw.

My mum cut my hair with wallpaper scissors once. my fringe was in a perfect straight line, starting high above my left eye going diagonally down to my right. Asymetric cuts weren't so hot when I was 10!

I love how well you write. It keeps your audience captivated. Well, your hubs keep me captivated. The posting you wrote about the money you were making was unbelievable. I am a mother of 4, trying to earn extra income as well. I have been blogging on blogspot for about a week. On here just for a few days. I haven't had very much traffic, and I am trying to get more clicks. I think I am a bit confused on the SEO, how it works. How to get the links into your articles. If you have any advice, it would be so helpful. Keep up the great writing, I will definitely be reading your articles!

I can relate to the Geisha ponytail hairdo you had. When my Dad would fix my hair before 2nd grade class, my braids were so tight I could barely see. You had to hope he didn't get carried away in agitated conversation when he was braiding or yikes! He was also King of the short bangs. We found out that Mom's eyes in back of her head was actually our reflection in the Frigidare.

Very cute and enjoyable hub here. Brought back fond memories.
