To all the mothers out there, (especially mine,) who strive to understand the creatures they brought forth.
Who endeavor to stay close, but not too close.
Who try to stay involved, but not too involved.
Who accept and allow, forbid and restrain, participate and tolerate.
To all those glorious mothers, (especially mine,) who somehow make their kids look better than they are. Who are always in on the joke, and laugh even when they’re not. Who still drive the bus, while letting everyone think they’re just along for the ride.
Thanks to you all, (especially mine,) and Happy Mothers Day.
