A SALUTE TO MOTHERS & GRANDMOTHERS
“A mom is like a comfortable quilt. She keeps us warm but never smothers us.” The art of mothering is to teach the art of living. The curve of a mother’s smile can set a lot of things straight. I have found that no kisses can ever compare to “mom” kisses, because mom kisses can heal anything. (Quotes from “Bits & Pieces)
The joys of motherhood…what a woman experiences when all the kids are finally in bed. Life’s golden age is when the kids are too old to need baby-sitters and too young to borrow the family car. Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he’s in trouble. You know the only people in this world who are always sure the proper way to raise children? Those who’ve never had any. Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers. There are 3 ways to get something done: Do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or forbid your children to do it. Avenge yourself, Mom. Live long enough to be a problem to your children. Grandmom’s….” My children believe I’m the oldest thing in the world and after 2 or 3 hours with them, I believe it, too.” “Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One minute you’re just a mother. The next you are all wise and prehistoric. “The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby’s grandparents. You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.” (Dave Berry)
