Writer’s Workshop – Banging Toes

Check out Mama Kat to see what other’s have to say.

In what ways are you turning into your mother?

Banging toes…
That is the first thing that comes to my mind…I am like my mother right now because there have been several times over the past year where I have banged my toe against a swing or toy or book or anything and pretty much think that I broke it. Right now my baby toe on my right foot is sore. I am sure I rammed against something a few days ago.

What does this have to do with my mother? Ever since I can remember my mom has had issues with keeping her toes in tact. Perhaps it was hard to keep toys out from under foot when she was taking care of nine kids. I can’t count on my hands how many times she injured one of her ten little Indians….

I am sure there are other ways that I am like my mother. I hope I have her sense of humor, but I can’t tell a joke like she can.

I wish I was as fertile as she was in her prime. She spent pretty much 16 years of her life being pregnant – with a few months in between. And with all of that experience I don’t remember any time during my pregnancy when I felt like she was giving unwanted advice. Actually, I came to her with the questions…so no assvice even from the lady who had the background to give it.

I hope I am as good of a momma to my little girl as she was. I hope I dedicate my time to whatever the Zerker digs like she did for me.

And when I am done, I don’t mind a few injured toes.
