It's a saying that has always stuck with me. My grandmother would always say it anytime I would tell her about a guy that was trying to date me. She would tell me that once I got older I would understand what it meant. To be honest with you, I think it has multiple meanings. My take on it is, be careful when dealing with people. Some people will try to tell you all the things you want to here, then be the first one to break your heart.
Don't you hate it when you really like someone, and your friends and family say that they are bad news, and they end up being right? *Laughing. I always seem to let a pretty smile cloud my judgement, but I know I am not the only one. I believe that all my dead end boyfriends have made me a stronger person. I know what qualities to look for and from now on, nobody can give me any WOODEN NICKELS!
I really do feel what you're saying and especially your grandmothers saying. But that saying can also be meant for the friends you choose as well. I have had a few situations with females that were considered to be very close friends and they ended up stabbing me in the back, And I have a best friend who I have grown up, who is like a sister to me who warned me about them. But you know we dont listen but in the end she was right. and I thought she was just being jealous cuz I was hanging out with someone else other than her. I was wrong. So that is why now I choose my friends/associates very wisely...
ReplyDeletei would have to agree with you... i really do hate it when i really like someone and my mom tells me oh he's no good and i defend him to prove her wrong... then a couple months go by and he proves me wrong...I guess it goes with that sayin you have go through the bad to get to the good...
ReplyDeleteI don't think you should let your family make decisions for you. However, if they are giving you good advice you should at least take what they are saying into consideration. I agree with acooper09 your grandmother's saying could pertain to friendships, relationships, or associates that you encounter.
