Stinky dinosaurs
Last weekend Aiden was watching a show about dinosaurs. After it was over, I asked him what he learned. He went on to tell me how the dinosaurs are big and scary... and stinky! I asked him why they were stinky. "I don't know, they just said they stink." Oh, I get it. I then had to explain what it meant to be extinct!

~~~~~~Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby.........somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, normal is history.
~~~~~~~Somebody said a mother's job consists of wiping noses and changing diapers.........somebody doesn't know that a child is much more than the shell he lives in.
~~~~~~~Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct........... somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.
~~~~~~~Somebody said being a mother is boring.........somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
~~~~~~~Somebody said teachers, psychologists, and pediatricians know more about children than their mothers....somebody hasn't invested her heart in another human being.
~~~~~~~Somebody said being a mother is what you do in your spare time..... somebody doesn't know that when you're a mother, you're a mother ALL the time.
~~~~~~~Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices.......somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child wind up a golf ball into the neighbor's kitchen window.
~~~~~~~Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother....... somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.
~~~~~~~Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her childbearing questions in the books........ somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose.
~~~~~~~Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery...... somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten.
~~~~~~~Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back........somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.
~~~~~~Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....... somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
~~~~~~Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home...... somebody never had grandchildren.
~~~~~~Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her....... somebody isn't a mother.
