IT'S A MOM THING

We all know that there is a certain behavior unique to mothers. It defies all logic, it's beyond explanation, it's a "Mom" thing.

Allow me to give you a little advice. When you've been a vegetarian for 6 years and she still doesn't think that you are getting enough vegetables in your diet, don't let it chew on you. It's a "Mom" thing.

When after slamming on the car brakes, she stretches her hand out in frount of you to block your thrust (even though your safe in your seat belt) relax it's a "Mom" thing.

When she gives you a 10 o'clock curfew(which you don't mind, but your spouse is getting annoyed with), don't fret. It's just a "Mom" thing.

When she insists on holding your hand while crossing the street, even though you need to hold your own kids hand, work it out. It's a "Mom" thing.

When she calls you at 5 am to tell you she doesn't think you're getting enough rest, don't lose any sleep over it. It's a "Mom" thing.

When you're sick and she fixes enough soup to nurse the entire Mayo Clinic, don't let it get you down. It's a "Mom" thing.

And finally, when she shows your baby picture to everyone she meets just smile. Sure, it's a 16x20, and you're afraid she'll throw out her back hauling it around in that solid oak frame, but it's a "Mom" thing-

and it's bigger than both of you.
