Mothers Day Stories and Jokes

[Linda Buquet]

On honor of all you Mothers out there,
I thought I'd create a little section for us to share thoughts or funny
stories about Mothers or Mothers Day.

Just got this really funny one by email.

"So, we had this 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died. Jack
was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and
nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on
this mat in our bathroom.

Well we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years
old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves
chapstick. LOVES it. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then losing
it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my
chapstick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to
put it right back in the drawer when he was done.

Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and
try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two
boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse
my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is
a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to
honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.

We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I am
looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally rounded the
corner to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my
chapstick very carefully to Jack's . . rear end. Eli looked right into
my eyes and said "chapped." Now if you have a cat, you know that he is
right--their little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack
didn't seem to mind.

And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was the
FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth.

And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us
that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures,
there will always be that day when you realize they've been
using your chapstick on the cat's butt."

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL YOU MOMS OUT THERE!!

Great idea Linda!

I have couple great stories about my mum but if I made them public she would kill me but my mum makes the best Cheese Cake, hands down.

I would like to say happy mother's to my mum and all Mothers in 5 star. Have a great Sunday.
