Honor Thy Mother

Sometimes the laughter in
mothering is the recognition
of the ironies and absurdities.
Sometime, though, it's just
pure, unthinking delight.

Sooner or later we all
quote our mothers.
Bern Williams

The most remarkable thing
about my mother is that for
thirty years she served the
family nothing but leftovers.
The original meal has never
been found.
Calvin Trillin

A mother is not a person to
lean on but a person to make
leaning unnecessary.
Dorothy C. Fisher

The art of mothering is to
teach the art of living to
children.
Elain Heffner

The most important thing
she'd learned over the years
was that there was no way
to be a perfect mother and
a million ways to be a good one.
Jill Churchill
