For the Mums

[Lovelee]

I do believe every kid should have to learn this song off by heart - specially those teen age ones

I love it as well, seen it a few times now and still laugh.

A woman,
renewing her driver's licence ,
Was asked by the woman at Registry to
state her occupation.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify
herself.

'What I mean
is, ' explained the woman at Registry,
'do you have a job or are you
just a ...?'

'Of course I have a job,' snapped the woman.


'I'm a
Mum.'

'We don't list 'Mum' as an occupation, 'housewife' covers
it,'

Said the
recorder emphatically.


I
forgot all about her story until one day I found myself In the same
situation.
The Clerk was obviously a career woman, poised,

Efficient, and possessed of a high sounding title like,
'Official
Interrogator' or 'City Registrar.'

'What is your
occupation?' she probed.

What made me say it? I do not know.

The words simply popped out.
'I'm a Research Associate in the
field of
Child Development and Human Relations.'


The
clerk paused, ball-point pen frozen in midair and
Looked up as though
she had not heard right.

I repeated the title slowly
emphasizing the most significant words.
Then I stared with wonder as
my pronouncement was written,
In bold, black ink on the official
questionnaire.

'Might I
ask,' said the clerk with new interest,
'just what you do in your
field?'

Coolly,
without any trace of fluster in my voice,
I heard myself reply,
'I
have a continuing program of research,
(what mother doesn't)
In
the laboratory and in the field,
(normally I would have said indoors
and out)
I'm working for my Masters, (first the Lord and then the
whole family)
And already have four credits (all daughters).
Of
course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities,
(any
mother care to disagree?)
And I often work 14 hours a day, (24 is more
li ke it).
But the job is more challenging than most run-of-the-mill
careers And the rewards are more of a
satisfaction rather than just money.'

There was an
increasing note of respect in the clerk's voice as she
Completed the
form, stood up, and personally ushered me to the door.

As I drove
into our driveway, buoyed up by my glamorous new career,
I was greeted
by my lab assistants -- ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our
new experimental model,
(a 6 month old baby) in the child development
program,
Testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt I had
scored a beat on bureaucracy!
And I had gone on the official records
as someone more Distinguished and indispensable to mankind than 'just
another Mum.' Motherhood!

What a
glorious career!
Especially when there's a title on the door.

Billiant!

At 4pm, I'm putting that on a continuous loop and cranking the volume up.

   Not quite the result I was looking for..........Miss 14 sat in front of the computer screeching with laughter saying "I love this song".

  Not quite the result I was looking for..........Miss 14 sat in front of the computer screeching with laughter saying "I love this song".

I would work that against her though.

Id be reminding her of what relates each time she steps out of line.

Reverse psychology works on kids - especially when they dont know its happening

hehehe
