Somebody Said...

[Dee Bee]

An oldie but goodie for moms everywhere! -- Diane

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal
after you've had a baby --
Somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal"
is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct --
Somebody never 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 well"--
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 baseball through the neighbor's kitchen window.

Somebody said you don't need a higher education to be a
mother --
Somebody never helped a fourth grader with her math.

Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you
love the
first --
Somebody doesn't have five children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her
child-rearing questions in the books --
Somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose 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 day of kindergarten -- or on a plane headed for military
boot camp.

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

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets
married--
Somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or
daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves
home --
Somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't
need to tell her --
Somebody isn't a mother.
