HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!

>

>THIS STORY WON A "BEST MOTHERS DAY STORY" CONTEST ON TV!!!!! Very cute

>

>> So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently

>died. Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit

>on him and nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all

>day long on this mat in our bathroom.

>> Well, we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years

>old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really

>loves chapstick. LOVES IT. He kept asking to use my chapstick and then

>losing it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep

>my chapstick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed

>to put it right back in the drawer when he was done.

>> Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around and

>try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My

>two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to

>nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up.

>Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a

>wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.

>> We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I am

>looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the

>corner to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my

>chapstick very carefully to Jack's . . . rear end. Eli looked right

>into my eyes and said "chapped". Now, if you have a cat, you know that

>he is right - their little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly,

>Jack didn't seem to mind.

>> And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was

>the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth.

>And then I decided I really did not want to know!

>> And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us

>that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little

>creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been

>using your chapstick on the cat's butt.
