A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan
I cannot tell you how many times I received the last piece of some sweet concoction this way, and, it goes far past pie. My mother is currently spending mother’s day doing around 14 loads of laundry that I have brought home from college (I came home for summer yesterday). I don’t thank her enough. My mother is an extraordinary woman. She is a selfless hard-worker and, like most mothers, is not appreciated enough. So, today I will do two things. First, let me send a big I Love You to my mother and a round of applause to all of the other mothers out there. Second, to celebrate mother’s day, I am including song lyrics from…Good Charlotte. *GASP* This is “Thank You Mom.”
And I thank you, I’ll always thank you
More than you could know, than I could ever show
And I love you, I’ll always love you
There’s nothing I won’t do, to say these words to you
That you will live forever
Always, always and forever
Really, Matt? Good Charlotte?
…for shame.
I tried not to. I really tried. But, it is hard to find a positive mother song.
