Mom Knew

My dear sweet friends of the Soup Thought I'd let you in on a little secret It's all about life and love and happy stuff But mostly it's about love You know... that stuff you've craved Ever since you discovered for the very first time That Mary was quite different She had stuff you didn't have And you had stuff she didn't have Suddenly she wasn't one of the guys anymore She was kinda like your sister but different Very very different Now every time you looked at her You still wanted to wrestle BUT Somehow it felt quite different Hard to explain but it was now okay If she ended up on top! In fact, let's be honest here, you let her 'win' Actually, you thought to yourself YEE HAW! I lost BUT I won! Now when it was time to go in for dinner You didn't feel like eating, Mom wondered why You wanted to go to bed early, Mom wondered why You brushed your teeth without urging Mom wondered why Mom didn't really wonder why Mom knew!

Moms always know best, we think we're smart asses but they're always one step ahead. Tom
