If you give a MOM a cookie!

I found this in the June 2006 Parenting Magazine. I just thought it was Hilarious! I just gotta share it!

If you give a mom a cookie,

Shes gonna want a glass of

milk* to go with it.

But before she gets the milk*,

she has to find her toddlers

pink ladybug boots.

To find the ladybug boots

she has to venture into

the playroom.

When she tries to tidy up

the playroom, she finds

daddy's left shoe, the salad

bowl, and an open package

of graham crackers. She also

finds her cell phone.

So she'll yell at her toddler

about the cell phone and

wake up the baby from

his morning nap.

But when she goes in to pick

up the baby the cell

phone will ring.

When she answers, it'll be

the doctors office reminding

her that she had an

appointment this morning

and would she like to reschedule,

say, sometime in November?

While she is trying to mentally

re-create he calender, the

baby will start to cry.

Then her toddler will run

to see what's the matter

and find the graham crackers.

When she finds the graham

crackers there will be

crumbs all over the playroom.

So the mom will get the

broom from the hall closet

and notice that daddy forgot

to buy diapers last night,

as she asked.

But she will find her

toddlers pink ladybug boots.

And when she finds the pink

ladybug boots, she'll remember

her emergency stash of

diapers in the car.

So She'll wrestle her toddler

and her baby into their car

seats and drive to

the store to buy more

diapers and more milk.

while she is buying the

milk she'll remember that

she wanted a glass of milk*.

And if she manages to buy

the Milk* without a tantrum

or poop episode from either

of her kids....

Then shes going to need another cookie.

I loved this and thought all of you would too! Oh the * next to the milk means in the origional printing from the magazine it said Latte. I can relate better when it is milk, so i changed it.
