Only a Mother

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 horn.

Knows the location of every drive-through window and pay-at-the pump in town.

Can sing while she's changing a dirty diaper.

Knows the secret to happy grocery shopping with a toddler...visit the bakery aisle first and plug his lips with a big cream horn.

Can cherish the 1,000th bleating of "Mexican Hat Dance" from a budding musician.

Sees a Picasso in those scribbles decorating the fridge.

Knows all the verses to "The Ballad of Davy Crockett".

Can find 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 see across town and locate a missing shoe from her cell phone.

Can switch from cook to catcher in an instant.

Has a bathtub that's filled with little yellow duckies.

Seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
