Moooooove over for Mommas

     

     Mother's Day 2014, is behind us, but I still wish to share this cute poem, elevating the place of 'mommas' in our society. I believe it was written as a country ballad, but couldn't seem to find its origin. 

Hall of Fame for Mommas 

He got here red and wrinkled, scared and crying, 
Then she took him, and held him to her breast. 
And he sure was glad to get what Momma offered, 
Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest. 
It didn't seem to matter what he needed, 
He could always count on Momma to supply. 
And regardless of the sleep she might be losing, 
He always saw a twinkle in her eye. 
She taught him all the attributes of greatness, 
That she knew he couldn't learn away from home. 
And by the time she wore the cover off her Bible, 
Her hair was grey and her little man was gone. 
There oughta be a Hall of Fame for Mommas, 
Creation's most unique and precious pearls, 
And heaven help us always to remember, 
That the hand that rocks the cradle, moves the world.   


     The Edinburg Medical College at Edinburg University is the most famous in all the world. A student there among others, was given an exam to write. 

     One of the main questions asked was, "Which is better for babies, cow's milk or mother's milk?" 

     

     The student after careful thought, wrote the following answer: 
The mother's milk is better because:  

• 1. it's more nutritious 
• 2. it's more hygienic  
• 3. it's easier to take on a picnic 
• 4. it's containers are nicer, and lastly, 
• 5. the cat can't get at it.
