Funny emails From Mothers


Hi Hon,
Don’t cross B. off the list.  If I rejected Dad because he was “too eager” I might be single today and never have had three great kids!!!  As I’ve told you, Dad used to chase me down the hall of the classroom building!  Tell me that is not “too eager”?  Remember your new criteria?  No prison record, not a lawyer, and I forgot the other criteria — no drug addiction or whatever.
Love, Mom

Subject: Just a thought
Don’t think I’m being nosy, but after meeting Dan the other night I wondered how you’re going to deal with explaining your “false advertisement” when the time comes? (You know — your padded bra!) I know you roll your eyes when I say this, but you have a BEAUTIFUL body and you should accept it and love you for YOU. Then you wouldn’t find yourself in such an awkward position with your boyfriend! Call me tomorrow, Mom.
Subject: Need your help
Please describe me. I am trying to write my Internet dating profile.

Short and to the point:
"std's are on the rise. love, mom."  


I bought some baby clothes for you today. I know you aren't pregnant, but I thought that maybe if I bought the clothes it would work in reverse...like I could will you to get knocked up. Are you knocked up? Tell that husband of yours to get busy. I want you two sexing it up like rabbits. Hear me...RABBITS.
Love,
Mom

Mothering Sunday Poem

Mothering Sunday

In the times before Bank Holidays
Farmer's boys and servant girls
Left the farm or big house early,
Going home for the day
On Mothering Sunday
Though home was miles away,
With flowers for their mother's present
Gathered as they went.

It's different these days:
All you have to do is stop
At the flower shop
With the pocket money you've saved
And the daffodils there
Came by train or even by plane;
But the present still means the same
For the language of flowers doesn't change



~by Stanley Cook.

Mother's Day - For Girls Only!




She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens.

She smiles when she
feels like screaming, and she sings when

she feels like crying. She
cries when she’s happy and laughs when

she’s afraid. Her love is
unconditional. There’s only one thing wrong

with her. She forgets what
she’s worth! Pass this to every beautiful

woman you know. Remind her
that she’s unique. I love you girl

Top 10 Reasons You Know Your a Mom When...


You Know You're a Mom When ...
1. Your feet stick to the kitchen floor.....and you don't care.
2. When the kids are fighting, you threaten to lock them in a room together and not let them out until someone's bleeding.
3. You can't find your cordless phone, so you ask a friend to call you, and you run around the house madly, following the sound until you locate the phone downstairs in the laundry basket.
4. You spend an entire week wearing sweats.
5. Your idea of a good day is making it through without a child leaking bodily fluids on you.
6. Popsicles become a food staple.
7. Your favorite television show is a cartoon.
8. Peanut butter and jelly is eaten at least in one meal a day.
9. You're willing to kiss your child's boo-boo, regardless of where it is.
10. Your baby's pacifier falls on the floor and you give it back to her, after you suck the dirt off of it because you're too busy to wash it off.

Valentine Poem for Mothers


The Rose Family by Robert Frost

**

The rose is a rose,

And was always a rose.

But the theory now goes

That the apple’s a rose,

And the pear is, 

and so’s The plum, 

I suppose.

The dear only know

What will next prove a rose.

You, of course, are a rose–

But were always a rose.
