If you give a mom a muffin:

So you know those books... "If you give a mouse a cookie" or "If you give a moose a muffin"... I love those books and one of the teachers at school gave me a "mom poem" based on those books. I took the liberty to change it just a touch but i think it is so cute and a fun read for all us MOMS!

If you give a mom a muffin:

If you give a mom a muffin,
she'll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She'll pour herself some...
her 3 year old will spill the coffee.
She'll wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she'll find dirty socks,
she'll remember she has laundry to do.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
she'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer...
bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper.
She will get out a pound of hamburger...
She'll look for her cookbook (101 things to make with a pound of hamburger)
the cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail...
She will see the phone bill that is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook,
while looking for her checkbook, the phone will ring
her 5 year old will answer it and accidentally hang up...
she'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for coffee...
thinking of the coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
She will pour herself some.
And chances are,
if she has a cup of coffee,
her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it!
