REAL MOMS...

A real mom knows the birth date of all of her children.  She knows all of their allergies, their likes and dislikes.  She knows the date of every major illness or injury ever sustained by each child.  Real moms know their child's height and weight, shoe size, and even shirt and pant sizes according to individual manufacturer's sizing.  Real moms know their children's dreams and aspirations, she knows their fears and phobias.  She knows what upsets each child, and she knows how to calm each one down.  She can recognize her child's voice shouting 'Mom'  in a crowded room full of moms.  Real moms can keep track of dates for all of the ball games and band concerts and coordinate it with her own work and household schedules.

Real moms know the names  of the family doctor and dentist.  She knows which child gets how much medicine at what time.  She knows all the names, addresses and phone numbers for all of her children's friends, as well as their parents names and work numbers.

But real moms don't know their own children's names.

"Mom~ I'm Zack, not Gabe"

"How many times have I told you not to argue with me?  If I say you're Gabe then dang it, you're Gabe!"

I have 5 children.  Most times I have to go through the entire roll-call before I get the right name.  And those little stinkers will ignore me until I use their name, even if they know exactly who I mean.

But this real mom has a real solution.

Name tags!

Thanks Stephanie from Home in the Heartland for tagging me on this fun little project.
