Since it’s the occasion of Mother’s Day, let’s talk about some character traits common to moms the world over. One, they are super courageous; in a crisis which involves their kids, everything else takes a backseat – their own fears, insecurities, safety and everything else. Two, they are super strong; in the blink of an eye they’ll manage to acquire super adrenaline-like powers and achieve the feat of a superhero. Three, their presence of mind is unrivalled; they know what is to be done when, even in emergency situations. And last but not the least, they have a super strong stomach – a bottomless pit which can digest anything and everything (I personally can vouch for this last point as a mum)! My own mum scores a cent per cent on all the other points – however I don’t know much about how well I do on those parameters – better ask my kids :P
Here are a couple of funny one-liners I came across the other day, while reading an article on mothers:
Mona Lisa’s mother: “After all that money your father and I spent on your braces, is that the best smile you can give us?”
Michelangelo’s mother: “Can’t you paint on walls like other children? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that stuff off the ceiling?”
Abraham Lincoln’s mother: “Again with the stove pipe hat? Can’t you just wear a baseball cap like the other kids?”
Thomas Edison’s mother: Of course I am proud that you invented the electric bulb. Now turn it off and get to bed.”
Columbus’ mother: “I don’t care what you’ve discovered, you could still have written!”
Napoleon’s mother: “All right, if you aren’t hiding your report card inside your jacket, take your hand out of there and show me.”
Albert Einstein’s mother: “But it’s your senior picture. Can’t you do something about your hair? Styling gel, mousse, something…?”
After all, moms will be moms! :D
