If You Give A Mom A Muffin

The story below was in a forwarded email to me from a friend. I think it is worth posting! The author is not noted. So I apologize, I don't know who took the Laura Numeroff story lines and created a humorous tale for mothers.

If you give a mom a muffin...
If you give a mom a muffin
She'll want a strong cup of coffee to go with it.
She'll make herself some.
Her three-year-old will spill the coffee
She'll wipe it up.
While wiping the floor she'll find dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots
and bump into the box of Goodwill items.
Bumping into the Goodwill items will remind her that she has to
get these boxes out of her basement and into the car.
When she puts the boxes in the car, she'll find a bag of
groceries and this will remind her she has to cook dinner.
She will get out the chicken defrosting in the fridge.
She'll look for her cookbook, "101 Things To Do With Chicken"
The cookbook will be sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the Netflix movie she's meant to send back and the
phone bill, which is due tomorrow.
The checkbook will be in her purse that is being dumped
out by her one-year-old.
As she bends down to rescue her purse,
she'll smell something funny.
She'll change the baby's diaper.
While she is throwing away the diaper and searching for the hand
sanitizer, the phone will ring.
Her three-year-old will answer and hang up.
She'll remember she wants to call a friend -
not for coffee, but for a very strong drink.
Thinking of drinking will remind her that she was going to have a cup of coffee in order to stay awake for the rest of the day.
And chances are....
If she finds her cup of coffee (which she has to reheat by now),
Her children will have eaten the muffin that goes with it.
