If You Give a Mom a Muffin

Someone shared this with me a few years ago. With Mother's Day coming up, I thought all of us mothers could relate to this...enjoy!

If You Give A Mom A Muffin

If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a cup of juice to go with it. She'll pour herself some. Her three-year-old will spill the juice. She'll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks. She'll remember she has to do laundry. When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She'll look for her cookbook. (101 Things To Make With A Pound Of Hamburger.) The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old. She'll smell something funny. She'll change the two-year-old. While she is changing the two-year-old the phone will ring. Her five-year-old will answer and hang up. She'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for juice. Thinking of juice will remind her that she was going to have a cup. She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of juice, her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
