took a three-year-old shopping.
Somebody said being a mother is boring ....somebody 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"...somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.
Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices ...somebody never came
out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the
neighbor's kitchen window.

or in his ears.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and
delivery...somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied
behind her back ....somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell
