SOMEBODY
SAID:
Somebody said it
takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby... Somebody
doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal", is history.
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct ...Somebody never took
a three-year-old shopping.
Somebody said being a mother is boring. Somebody never rode in a car driven by
a teenager with a driver's permit.
Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn
out good"...somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a
guarantee.
Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices ... somebody
never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball
through the neighbor's kitchen window.
Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother ...somebody never
helped a fourth grader with his math.
Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first
...somebody doesn't have five children.
Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions
in the books. Somebody never had a child
stuff beans up his nose or in his
ears.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery
...somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first
day of kindergarten ... or on a plane headed for military "boot
camp"
Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied
behind her back. Somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell
cookies.
Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married
...somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a
mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home
...somebody never had grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her
....somebody isn't a mother.
