It was after I swiped a knife out of Benjamin's hand with my toes that I realized I had become a true Mom. Before that, I was simply a mom, with no capital M.
I was sitting on the couch nursing Anna, watching Kylie color, and I noticed Benjamin had a knife. I couldn't do much since my hands were tied up with the baby, so I reached out with my foot and took the knife in between my toes and yanked it out of Ben's hands and subsequently out of reach.
All of this went unnoticed by everyone, until I thought to myself, " I just did that with my TOES!" Then I decided I was promoted from mom, to Mom.
From brother to Mom,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. We've all known that you could do it all along. You have realized your full potential!
My full potential would require opposible toes:)
ReplyDeleteI thought you became Mom when a child said it repeatedly at high volume in a public place like this: "Momomomomomomoomomomomomomomomomom" while tugging on your skirt, until you said "What!!!" "Uh, I forgot" but then you know who you really are. Nice to have prehensile feet, no?
