Why Mothers are Loved
Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I
think I'll go to bed."
She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed
out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following
evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons
and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.
She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the wash,
ironed a shirt and secured a loose button.
She picked up the game pieces left on the table and put the telephone book back
into the drawer.
She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.
She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash
for the field trip, and pulled a textbook out from hiding under the chair. She
signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and
wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse.
Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution & age
fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.
Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."
"I'm on my way," she said.
She put some water into the dog's dish and put out the cat then made sure the
doors were locked.
She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their lamp, hung up a shirt,
threw some dirty socks the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up
still doing homework.
In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day,
straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important
things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of
her goals.
About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular.
"I'm going to bed." And he did...without another thought. Anything extraordinary
here?
