"A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another's." - Jean Paul Richter

~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS:

MOTHERS

Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.

Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.

Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.

Mothers know that dried playdough doesn't come out of shag carpet.

Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.

Mothers sometimes ask "why me?" and get their answer when a little voice says, "because I love you best."

Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade... It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mommy to Mom...

~~~~~~~ TRIVIA:

The Waring family in the United Kingdom has had an extra guest for dinner lately; a bird that pays for its meals. The magpie, a regular diner at the Waring family home, eats bread crumbs and then pays for its meals with money it finds.

Gill Waring began leaving bread for the bird on a garden table and noticed one or two coins were being left behind each day.

She said: "I was baffled because I didn't know how the coins got there and then on day I looked out of the window and saw the magpie leaving money."

So far the bird has left about $3 on the table. - http://ananova.com
