| MY THOUGHTS...Short Stories And Poems. |
MUM MEANS LOVE!WHY MUM IS A WORD MEANING LOVE Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed" She went to the kitchen, Made the sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, Took meat out of the freezer for tea the following evening, Checked the cereal box levels, Filled the sugar container, Put spoons and bowls on the table, Then started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, Put a load of clothes into the washer, Ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, Put the phone back on the charger, And put the telephone book into the drawer. She watered the plants, Emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, Counted out some cash for the field trip, And pulled a text book out, from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, Addressed and stamped the envelope, Wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse. Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, Put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, Brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails. Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed." "I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish, And put the cat outside, Then made sure the doors were locked, And the patio light was on. She looked in on each of the kids, And switched off their bedside lamps and TV's, Hung up a shirt, Threw some dirty socks into the hamper, Had a brief conversation with the one child up still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm; Laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals. About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he did...without another thought. Anything extraordinary here?
Ever wondered why women usually live longer than men? BECAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL.....
