Only a Mom...

Can listen to the same knock-knock joke 27 times
without hollering "Nobody's Home."

Will be a Scrabble partner with a kid...
who thinks "cookie" begins with a "k."

Will unwind 56 feet of toilet paper...
so her little darling can have the empty roll to make present for mom.

Knows the location...
of every drive-through window in town.

Knows the exact temperature...
a crayon will melt on her car dashboard.

Will often try to hide...
a leafy green vegetable in a cookie.

Can cherish the 1,000th bleating
of "Twinkle, Twinkle..." from a budding violinist.

Will sometimes show up at work...
wearing Mickey Mouse stickers on her posterior.

Sees a Picasso...
in those scribbles decorating the refrigerator.

Knows all the verses...
to "This Old Man."

Can deal out emergency lunch money...
from the dryer lint filter.

Can find her last good pair of panty hose...
being used to hitch a wagon to a tricycle.

Knows the sure-fire way to get three kids to eat carrots...
buy two carrots.

Is limber enough...
to wrestle a fitted sheet onto the top bunk bed.

Invests 50 dollars in stale macaroons
to help send the French Club to Disneyland.

Will attempt to grow hydroponic tomatoes in one night
for a last-minute science project.

Can see across town...
and locate a missing shoe from her office desk phone.

Can switch...
from cook to catcher in an instant.

Has a bathtub...
that's filled with little yellow duckies.

Seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people...
promptly announces she never did care that much for pie.
