Happy Mothers Day

What have I learnt as a Mum???

That most big trucks have 22 wheels and 3 windscreen wipers. The amazing thing about windscreen wipers is that they can wipe in a range of different ways. It can be tricky when there are 3 and sometimes you even get one on the back. Then there are the lights that they have, the number of trailers and the number of spare wheels.

Now I don't recall in any book any Mums passing on this sort of important information (esp to someone who grew up in a house of girls). For some strange reason the books that I read on being a Mum were about providing the basics in life -how to get a 4yo to eat their vegies, dress themselves, have manners and grow into wonderful human beings. It appears we need a new book for Mums - how to answer the why questions? (my fall back ... because that is the way it was made), all about trucks/cars /motorbikes/aeroplanes, anatomy of animals and people and all that important boy stuff.




Thank you Mario for my mothers day (it was fun watching you kicking the ball at Auskick) and for you and Daddy being organised (I got a beautiful bracelet and all I had on my list of ideas was a scarf!) esp seeing Daddy is in hospital recovering from his hip surgery. I also loved the delicious cake I made to enjoy while sitting at the hospital. Hope all Mums had a lovely day.
