In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I’d share some of the thoughts that fill my mental processing time. Most mothers have pondered the same types of quandaries that I do, I’m sure of it! Here are just a few questions that have run through my mind this week:
1. Why does a kid, who can’t take the time to dry his hands after washing them, close the bread twist-tie with 16 turns?
2. Do my children notice that there’s only 12 more squares of TP on the roll and only use 10 so they don’t have to change the roll?
3. Why do kids, who cannot see when they’ve left things in disarray all over a room, notice minutely chopped onions in chili?
4. I was asked, “Why do we have to match our clothes anyway???” I never did come up with a good answer for that one…. “because.”
5. My personal favorite, when asked if my son has brushed his teeth, he replied, “Almost.” What does that mean?
6. Where does fashion sense come from? My 10 year old son requested yellow skin-tight jeans. Am I missing something here?
Oh, the wonders of being a mother multiplied by three. It’s a fabulous life that I wouldn’t trade for all the rice in China.
