"I" is for....

If you give a Mom a Muffin
(my favorite version)

If you give a Mom a muffin
She'll want a cup of coffee to go with it
She'll pour herself some
The coffee will get spilled by her three year old
She'll wipe it up.

Wiping the floor she will find some dirty socks
She'll remember she has to do some laundry
When she puts the laundry in the washer
She'll trip over some snow boots and bump into the freezer
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan dinner for tonight

She will get out a pound of hamburger
She will look for her cookbook
(101 things to make with a pound of hamburger)
The cook book is sitting under a pile of mail
She will see the phone bill which is due tomarrow
She will look for her checkbook

The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by
Her two year old
She smells something funny
She will change the two year old
While she is changing the two year old the phone will ring
Her four year old will answer it and hang up

She remembers she wants to call a friend to come for coffee
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup

And chances are....
If she has a cup of coffee ....
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it
