Only a Mother... Can listen to the same knock-knock joke 27 times without hollering "Nobody's Home." Will be a Scrabble partner with a kid who thinks "cookie" begins with "k." Will unwind 56 feet of toilet paper so her little darling can have the empty roll to make a Mother's Day present. Knows the exact temperature a crayon will melt on the dashboard. Tries to hide a green vegetable in any recipe she can. Will buy an 8 x 10 photo of her little darling with a palm tree growing out of his ear. Can cherish the 1,000th bleating of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" from a budding violinist. Sees a "Picasso" in those scribbles on the fridge. Knows all the verses to "This Old Man." Can find emergency funds for a field trip in the dryer lint filter. Tries to understand finding her last good pair of panty hose hitching a wagon to a tricycle. Knows the sure-fire way to get three kids to eat carrots...buy two carrots. Is limber enough to wrestle a fitted sheet onto the top bunk bed. Can switch from cook to catcher in an instant. Seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. |
