I was going to save this until Mother’s Day, but I don’t think I can wait.
These may be the best words I’ve ever read on the subject of motherhood:
one thing about mothers on the whole
they’ll go to your thing
they’ll see what their kids are doing
if you tell your mother
that you’re doing your thing somewhere
if you invite her
she’ll most likely say well since my son told me about it even though i’m risking my mortal soul even though i’m jeopardizing my place in heaven for my son i’ll risk it i’ll go to his thing
“And I guess I’d better work a little harder at correcting my faults. What would you say was my worst one?” The cow shook her head. “Let’s stay friends, and you figure that out for yourself.” ― Walter R. Brooks, Freddy Plays Football
“I consider myself the single honest man in a world of rogues and blackguards, present company excepted. In these conditions it is hard to accumulate wealth.” ― Jack Vance, Cugel’s Saga
