Real Mothers

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
they don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen
utensils are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
filthy ovens, and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough
doesn't come out of the carpets.
Real Mothers don't want to know
what the vacuum just sucked up.
Real Mothers sometimes ask, "why me?"
and get their answers when a little voice says,
"because I love you best."
Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not
measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mama
to Mommy to Mom...
