If You Give A Mom A Muffin...

Have you ever read the book "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie"? We love that book in this house! We've also read "If You Give A Cat A Cupcake" - equally as adorable! All that to say..I was forwarded a spoof off those books about Moms - I read it and laughed so hard! (I don't know who wrote it as it was an email forward)
******************
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.
So she'll pour herself some.
The coffee will get spilled by her three year old.
She'll wipe it up.

Wiping the floor, she will find some dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do some laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
She'll trip over some snow boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper for tonight.

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 which is due tomorrow.
She will look for the checkbook.

The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two year old.
She'll smell something funny.
She'll change the two year old.
While she is changing the two year old the phone will ring. (Of course!)
Her five year old will answer it and hang up.

She remembers that she wants to phone a friend to come over for coffee on
Friday.
Thinking of 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.

oh.so.true. There are many mornings I make myself a nice cup of hot chocolate (or something similar) and never get to drink it!

Sounds like the mom in the poem has 3 kids; soon enough I'll get to write a poem about my 3 kids!
