we found this card E had made for me at school as i was tucking him in for the night. it was so late and i was so exasperated from a loooooooong ride home from grandma's house with horrible,crabby, sleepy children that i almost didn't open it. but E insisted. and i'm so glad he did.
(underlined words are the ones he filled in)
my mom has brown hair and ________ eyes.
she is 7 feet tall and weighs 10 pounds.
my mom likes to play with me and my brother.
she is happy when me and my brother don't bother her.
her favorite TV show is ______________.
my mom is very smart. she knows all about being a nurse.
my mom likes to eat things she makes.
my mom doesn't like me or my brother hitting each other with light sabers.
if my mom could have one wish come true, it would be that we were always nice to each other.
my mom is very special to me because she loves me a lot.
and that was enough to bring this bitchy mom to tears.
happy mother's day, all my fellow maternal sisters.
i hope, whether in big or small ways, that you were able to feel the love today too.

Happy Mother's Day! Moments like that are the best aren't they!
gff is in tears now, too. How beautiful! You are a fantastic mom! Also very tall and lean, apparently. Happy Mothers Day, ZM! gff
At least we know now why you don't have a favorite television show. You have no eyes!
That is the sweetest card ever. They always manage to hit you in the gut when you feel the least receptive.
Magic.
You and my wife must be in the same spinning class.
According to my 4 year old son, she's 99 years old, is 10 feet tall and weighs 4 pounds.
Here's a sketch of her:
