Mom is Always the Best Educator...

10 lessons that only moms can teach us (because college is way too busy being academic).

  1. College teaches you how to look at the world. Mom teaches you how to look at your own behavior.
  2. College teaches you how to structure your time. Mom shows you what to do with your spare time.
  3. College teaches you to appreciate a well-thought-out presentation. Mom teaches you to appreciate a Mickey Mouse-shaped pancake.
  4. College teaches you about gravity. Mom teaches you how not to fall off a bike.
  5. College teaches you how to drive home your point. Mom teaches you how to drive a stick-shift.
  6. College teaches you how to make plans. Mom teaches you how to be flexible when those plans don’t work out.
  7. College teaches you how to get to the heart of broken management. Mom teaches you how to manage a broken heart.
  8. College teaches you to respect deadlines. Mom teaches you to respect others.
  9. College teaches you accountability. Mom teaches you reliability.
  10. College teaches you how to think. Mom teaches you how to love.
Happy Mother's Day to the greatest teacher I've ever had :)

And now I guess I'm "teaching" you that it's OK to cry when you are hurt, and that hugs can make it feel better? :)

When you become a mom, LOVE is the teacher. I'm so proud of you and thankful that you get to know how wonderful it is to be a mom, too. It's the most rewarding teaching job ever.
