One of my mom's "momisms"
It was something she said ALL of the time. When I got older, and I learned how much it pissed her off when I mocked her, I am sure I must have mocked her on this one time and again.
Only now, as an adult, quickly approaching my own era of "momisms," do I realize she stole it from Yoda. The crazy part is, she wasn't even really a Star Wars fan. She put it into her own words, of course -- she had to make it less Yoda-ish and more mom-ish.
Powerful words, Mom. Powerful. They came from a green puppet.

Har Har, your mom was a sci-fi geek.
Kidding.
I like that saying. I think it's a hoot you didn't know it came from Yoda.
