    List of Ingredients




    Somebody said, about mothers

    Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've
    had a baby
    ..that somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal", is
    history.

    Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct
    ...that somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

    Somebody said being a mother is boring
    ..that somebody never had their child taken to the emergency
    room after being run over by a go cart, or 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"
    ...that somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

    Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices
    ..that somebody never stood outside while thier child was playing with
    other children in the street when a car comes racing down it, or came out
    the back door just in time to see her child hit a ball through the new
    neighbor's kitchen window.

    Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother
    ...that somebody never helped their child with his/her homework.

    Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first
    ...that somebody doesn't have five, six or ten children.

    Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing
    questions
    in books
    ..that somebody never had a child stuff a toy car's rubber tire up his nose
    or in his ears.

    Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery
    ...that 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
    ..that somebody never organized wriggling, giggling Cub Scouts/Brownies to
    do anything.

    Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married
    ...that somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or
    daughter-in-law to a
    mother's heartstrings, and that even though a baby moves out, he/she is
    always our baby and we never stop worrying about them.

    Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home
    ...that somebody was never a mother or grandmother, as a child is always our
    responsibility.

    Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her
    ...that somebody "couldn't possibly" be a mother.



    Do you know other "mothers" in your life? Why not give them a copy of this?
