How I See Mommy…Happy Mother’s Day!
I stumbled upon this passage on the stages of motherhood in the eyes of our kids. So far, it is true for me.
4 years old – My mommy knows everything.
8 years old – My mom knows a lot.
12 years old – My mom knows some things, but not quite everything.
14 years old – My mom doesn’t know much.
16 years old – My mom doesn’t know anything.
23 years old – Well, she might know a thing or two.
30 years old – Before we decide, let’s ask mom. She’ll know for sure.
55 years old – I wonder what mom would have thought about that.
70 years old – I wish I could talk it over with mom.
Being a mom is the tough job that I have accepted, but the payoffs are priceless. I leave you with Proctor & Gamble’s latest ad campaign for the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics:
Happy Mother’s Day!
