Of course this was gonna be a Mother’s Day themed post. What else would it be? So gather your mom’s ’round the computer and if you are old enough to be everybody’s mom, then…uh…gather your kids…?
Why don’t we get it crackin with a couple of images. First, the secret to mom’s success:
And our moms told us to brush our teeth. But, how many moms will dance with you while brushing their teeth with you?
Oops! I probably should’ve mentioned that spit part. But hey, it’s still pretty cool.
Alright, if you aren’t too disgusted to continue, let’s take a look at this quote:
A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest. ~Irish Proverb
Well ain’t that some candy? A joke:
A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. The farmer had genuinely tried to be friendly to his new mother-in-law, hoping that it could be a friendly, non-antagonistic relationship. All to no avail though, as she kept nagging them at every opportunity, demanding changes, offering unwanted advice, and generally making life unbearable to the farmer and his new bride.
While they were walking through the barn, during the forced inspection, the farmer’s mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly. It was a shock to all no matter their feelings toward her demanding ways.
At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, however, he would shake his head no, and mumble a reply.
Very curious as to this bizarre behavior, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about.
The farmer replied, “The women would say, ‘What a terrible tragedy’ and I would nod my head and say, ‘Yes, it was.’ The men would then ask, ‘Can I borrow that mule?’ and I would shake my head and say, ‘Can’t. It’s all booked up for a year.'”
Well, I guess Mother’s Day goes both ways!
I couldn’t find much of anything in the latest news concerning Mothers. Most likely stories will surface as Sunday goes on so on Monday I should have something for you. So for now, that’s it. Happy Mother’s Day!
