mom's the word.

I love when mothers are REAL about motherhood. The ones on Facebook who act like being a mom is the best thing in the whole world and only include status updates on the good stuff make me crazy. I know they are liars by omission because there is no way that their child hasn't pooped on them or someone else.

Mom's the Word: The Wit, Wisdom and Wonder of Motherhood is a tribute to moms including the best things anyone ever said about motherhood. Author Allen Klein included the heartfelt, but he also included the real life.

An example of heartfelt:

"It will be gone before you know it.

The fingerprints on the wall appear higher and higher.

Then suddenly they disappear."

An example of real life:

If pregnancy were a book, they would cut the last two chapters.

There are a lot of pleasant things said about mothers in this collection as well. I like that part. Mothers should have lovely things said about them. I know they aren't technically perfect beings floating around, but to their children they are. You see, I don't really remember the stuff that my mother did wrong. I do however, remember everything I did wrong. And even if she handled my disobedience in a way that went against every mothering handbook ever made, I still only remember what I did wrong, and that she cared enough to forgive me.
