Observations on Motherhood

• You can spot a mother by the race car stickers on the back of her pants.
• Mothers can get excited about a new addition to the box tops for education collection.
• Mothers are never alone in the bathroom.
• When mothers go shopping with their friends, they often end up shopping for children's clothing.
• Nothing is better than a child curled up on a mother's lap.
• Mothers may be seen wearing strange jewelry, hats, or nametags from time to time. Their children made them, you see.
• Mothers can be quite proud (and relieved) when their children begin to dress themselves, even if the clothes are worn backward, the socks inside out and shoes on the wrong feet.
