Lika’s Log

When my kids were little; Mother’s Day was like Queen for a Day. They would clean house and cook, they would be all nice nice. Even though they wanted to go out play or go some place they would be stay home and be SUSPICIOUSLY nice. You know what I mean?

When my kids where in high school, same thing; they would be all nice nice. Too nice and agreeable; cause you know how teenagers are. They know everything and that doesn’t include “clean your room or the bathroom.”

When the kids were in high school I use to tell them:

Da way you guys act on Mother’s Day is the way you should be everyday of the year - Anden on Mother’s Day should be da one day you are allowed to tell me off, cuss me out, call me bitch woteva, I no caya, act ugly disrespectful as long as the rest of the year you ack like you do on Mother’s Day.

My son is MrAnswerBack everytime ~ “BUT MOM thats not the way its suppose to be?”

I’m like yes you’pose to be nice nice clean house, clean your room, cook and what not every day. Anden Mother’s Day be your day off and you can answa back argue wit yo’Mahdah!

My #2 is in a sorority, Gamma Delta Pi and every year for the past couple of years I get one T-shirt that their sorority makes. They celebrate Mother’s Day but doing community service at shelters or nursing homes. All the T-shirts I’ve gotten were yellow. This year I got a red one. It lookes like an OU (Oklahoma University) t-shirt and on the back it reads: 

Butterfly Wings

Like a butterfly emerges

And unfolds its graceful wings,

A child grows and develops

With the love a mother brings,

I’m thankful for the times

When you encouraged me to try,

For God gave me wings,

But, Mom, you taught me how to fly.
