Tim Hawkins recalls how advice from his mother would come in a little tardy. The popular comedian shared how he received excellent knowledge and wisdom when the moment had already passed. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear about Tim’s mom dispensing motherly wisdom and wise instructions after the fact.

No one knows everything, and that is especially true for young people. Yes, those youngsters may try to act in a manner showing they have a firm grasp on and understanding of things. They may even state how they believe they “know it all” and shun all knowledge and wisdom shared with them.

Of course, this is a foolish way to live life and a recipe for utter disaster and ruin. Someone who is boastful, obnoxious and openly turns away from knowledge and wisdom, thinking they have all the answers to everything, will soon discover the error of their ways. Everyone, regardless of their age or stage in life, can benefit from wisdom and sound advice.

However, as Tim Hawkins mentions in a hysterical clip posted on social media when we receive that advice, it makes all the difference. He shares how his mom would give him excellent advice as a young man. The only problem was that it often came after the moment that it would have been helpful.

“Sometimes, as parents, we just fail at advice,” he said. “I remember my mom, when I was a kid, she used to give me good advice too late.”

Later in the clip, Tim gives a laugh-out-loud example of advice given much too late.

“Like when I was a kid, I hit my head on the corner of the table,” he said. “’Careful!’  “Boy, I’m sure glad you were there, Hoss! Who knows what would have happened, Nostradamus?”

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
