In honor of Mother’s Day ..

‘Mommage’ is doing everything.
hard or carrying all the weight. “Wow, that’s some serious mommage there.”

- Mommercise – the exercise of chasing your child around for a bath, wrestling them into clothes, running after them before they decide to chase a ball into traffic or realizing they left the water running in the bathtub and racing upstairs.
- Momsense – something moms say that actually makes sense. Wise words. “hey, when you told me not to lick the light socket, you know, that was some good momsense there.”

For me, I lost my mom a long time, ago. Before I could tell her how right she’d been, before I could thank her for all that she gave up for me and my brother, before I could apologize for all the times I made her angry or made her cry.
I miss you mom.
Missing my mom
About A Stepdad 
Good one joe.
Touching.
Very touching Joe, and brave.
That’s a really clever list: congratulations. May I add some?
Cinnamom: one of those moms that always has baked goods ready and waiting.
Momentum: irresistible force generated by a mom that has set her mind on something (“There’s no use fighting it, dad, she’s got momentum.”)
Mumble: that quiet, under-her-breath yet so-very-audible last word that some mothers can generate.
Pessimum: best exemplified by what a pessimum says: “Put down that straw: someone will lose an eye” or “And that will put bread on the table?”. In use: “I wanted to go on the ride, but her pessimum came out and she vetoed it.”
Optimum: opposite of pessimum — she sees the best in one and has faith that things will turn out.
They’re not nearly as clever as yours….
These are brilliant! Thanks, Mike!
