Mother's Day Stuff

A FRANTIC MOM

The housewife answered the phone and listened with relief to the voice in her ear. "How are you, dear? What kind of day are you having?"

"Oh, Mom, the baby won't eat, the washing machine is broke, I've not been able to get out of the house to shop, I twisted my ankle and have been hobbling around. On top of that, the house is a mess and we're supposed to have two couples over for dinner tonight."

"Now, dear, just stay calm. Sit down, relax, close your eyes, and I'll be over in 1/2 hour. I'll do the shopping, clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you. I'll take care of the baby when I get there and call a repairman I know who'll get the washing machine fixed. In fact, I'll call George at the office and tell him he ought to come home and help out for once."

"George? Who's George?"

"Why, that's your husband, dear."

"Mom, my husband's name is Ted."

"Is this 234-5678?"

"Uh, no, it's not. I think you have a wrong number." The housewife paused. "Uhhh, does this mean you're not coming over?"

To My Other Mother

You are the other mother I received

The day I wed your son.

And I just want to thank you, Mom,

the loving things you've done.

You've given me a gracious man

With whom I share my life.

You are his lovely Mother and

I his lucky wife.

You used to pat his little head

And now I hold his hand.

You raised in love a little boy

And then gave me the man!

PREGNANCY Q & A

Only a Mother:

Can listen to the same knock-knock joke 27 times without hollering "Nobody's Home!"

Will be a Scrabble partner with a kid who thinks "cookie" begins with "k".

Seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
