(I’m walking through a big dog park, where people often leave their used dog bags behind them, and it gets kind of gross over time. I see a mom bag up her dog’s poop, and then drop the bag on the trail.)
Four-Year-Old Son: “Mommy, you forgot the bag.”
Mom: “Oh, honey, we’ll get it on the way back out.”
Four-Year-Old Son: “But we need to throw it away.”
Mom: “It’s too far to the next trash can. We’ll get it later.”
Four-Year-Old Son: “But Mommy, we can’t just leave poopy behind.” picks up the bag and hands it to his mom “We’ll find a trash can soon.”
Mother hood is the only job on the planet that you can not get up one morning and say. I quit! This is why 99.99 times a woman is given the custody of the children over the men and the men have to pay for that freedom for the next score of his life. If the woman just walks away then she is marked for the rest of her life. Although astronauts have the same problem, when they want to quit they job is not on the planet….
Mother’s are great, at least the one’s I know. They love, nurture and when needed discipline their kids. The kids grow up great. I have seen bad mother’s too and the worst are those that kill their babies even before they are born.
Every Mothers Day, my Father-in Law, would tell the story of the sermon a priest he didn’t like, giving a Mother’s Day sermon that started with, “Where is Mother ? Down at the corner bar!”.
I dated (very briefly) a woman who said she did not love her child, although she felt responsible for him. She thought all that stuff was made up by mothers who realized they had made a terrible mistake and did not want to admit it.

They love ’em too. Some with syrup, and some with hot sauce.

I know it’s trite to blame everything on my mom so I work hard not to. Except on Mother’s Day when everything is her fault.
