Oh how true it is...

 IF YOU GIVE A MOM A MUFFIN

If you give a Mom a muffin,
She’ll want a cup of tea to go with it.
She’ll make herself some.
Her two year old will spill the tea.
She’ll wipe it up.
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 she has to get these boxes in the car and out of her basement.
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 mail and the preschool bill, which is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The checkbook will be in her purse that is being dumped out by her two year old.
She’ll smell something funny.
She’ll change the baby’s pull ups and have her sit on the potty.
As she finishes up, she’ll realize she brought the hand sanitizer down to the kitchen.
While she is throwing away the pull up and searching for the hand sanitizer, the phone will ring.
Her two year old will answer and hang up.
She’ll remember she wants to phone a friend not for tea but a very strong drink. Thinking of drinking will remind her that she was going to have a cup of tea in order to stay awake for the rest of the day.
And chances are…
If she finds her cup of tea (which she has to reheat by now),
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
