Three Little Munchkins

I have no idea who wrote this (certainly not me!), but here's a tribute to all you mommies out there:

This is for all the mothers who taught their daughters to tie their shoelaces before they started school/ And for all the mothers who opted for velcro instead.

This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purses.

This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot.

This is for all the mothers whose heads turn automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at home.

This is for the mothers who put pinwheels and teddy bears on their children's graves.

This is for the mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the words to reach them.

This is for all the mothers who sent their sons back to school with stomach-aches, assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to get calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up. Right away.

This is for young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation. And mature mothers learning to let go. For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers. Single mothers and married mothers. Mother with money, mothers without.
