Have You Called Your Mother Lately?

Initially I posted this on my Facebook page. It struck a chord with moms and grandmas alike.


OK, so you have kids, and you think they'll stay little forever. And then you blink, and presto they graduate middle school. One more blink and they graduate high school, and then, without hardly blinking, and almost feeling like you must have slept through those years, they graduate college. Next thing you know they have a real world job, and they're living on their own clear across country, and they're going on their first business trip. And you smile and think...weren't we just doing an arts and crafts project or schlepping her to some play date or extra-curricular activity? And then she emails to say they are extending her business trip and she may be taking a seaplane (A SEAPLANE...like a regular plane isn't good enough?!) back home, which sounds pretty cool (in theory only). But all I have to say is that you better call your mother when you get home!!!! Once a mother, always a mother!


It must be a mother's intuition, but we managed to phone her 3 minutes after returning to her apartment. We didn't give her the chance to call us first to receive that illustrious star on her keppie (means "forehead" in Yiddish).


And, while you're at it, call your grandmother. She's wondering about your return, as well.


So, have you called your mother today? She's eager to hear what you've been up to, and, if nothing else, she's looking forward to hearing the sound of your voice.
