If you are squeamish
you may not be ready to be a mother
babies are messy and smelly
their odors are horrible

they spit up and squirt out
your clothes will never be the same
toddlers eat dirt, sand and bugs.
there is no time to be finicky or prissy

the average person consumes eight spiders a year
in their sleep,
knowing this might make motherhood easier....

I used to pick on
some of the other kids in school.
Now, I didn't do it to show of
or just to be cool.

for their homework to copy.
I really only ever did it,
because there was nothing
they could do to stop me....
