“We’re going to make a present for your moms,” I said to my class last Thursday.
I showed them the project. Their job was to write 5 things they loved about their mom’s on flower petals. Simple! The class was excited and were off to create! But soon enough came the call, “I don’t know what to write!”
“You could write… I love my mom because she’s beautiful,” I suggested!
“That’s mean,” said A. I stared at A perplexed as to how that was mean.
“You could write… I love my mom because she’s my best friend,” I tried again.
“That’s not possible! Mom’s are family and family can’t be best friends,” said A again.
“I’m sure you can come up with something,” I said walking away.
My Petals…
I love my mom because…
She holds our family together!
She’s a GREAT listener!
We shop very well together!
She’s got style!
and of course…
She’s my BEST friend!
