1. Even if I make no mention of going out on Saturday night, my mom always tectures me on the dangers of date rape drugs and having sex with strangers around 9:00 p.m.

2. My dad was tecturing me earlier about how I should think before I mindlessly text people after reading some stuff that I had sent my mom while she was napping, and I responded by saying, "And this is why I never want to talk to you."

3. Advice Dog is so annoying when he tectures me about remembering to take my LSD every morning. It's a good idea that I never pay attention to people who tecture me.
