Moms are the best. No really, they are. They are the real life superwomen—dressed in old blue jeans and a tired shirt adorned with just a little spot of baby spit up, they can conquer the world. Without them, how would we finish those last-minute class projects…or get to soccer practice…or get ready for prom? We wouldn’t. Let’s face it, our lives would suck without them around.
Take a look at these badass things that only a supermom can do
1. They can deliver one child to daycare, one to ballet class, the other to soccer practice and still make it to their monthly wine-tasting class on time.
How one lady can do all this is beyond me… I still can’t even make it to my college classes on time.
2. They can find anything anywhere at any time.
Lose your diamond earring? Call mom. Can’t find your favorite pair of shoes? Call mom. Lost dog? Mom. Missing child? Mom knows. She always knows where everything is—it’s in her nature.
3. They can clean the whole house in five minutes flat.
Sweep. Mop. Dust. Dishes. Done. She basically becomes the Tasmanian Devil when grandma is in route. Beware: get in her way and you’ll smell like lavender and lemon dish soap until next Christmas.
4. They can make you the best Halloween costume on the block.
Why dish out the big bucks when Mom can create the best costume for just a few dollars at the craft store? What kid doesn’t want to be a life sized bag of Skittles or a horrid bag of gross-eries. Once her imagination starts to whirl, there is no stopping it.
5. They’re living, breathing lie detector machines.
They all have the ability to sniff out a lie from miles away. Listen up kids, there’s absolutely no point in lying to Mom because she. will. find. out.
6. They have a crazy sense of persuasion.
Remember how she was able to talk you into wearing sunscreen as a child? Yeah… blame the sweet talk and mom-ish charm.
7. They can lug 25 full grocery bags and a baby into the house.
Where you’d take 10 trips… Mom takes one. #SuperStrength
8. They can make a gourmet meal out of week old leftovers and a can of soup.
When the day is long and your tummy is starving, you can always count on Mom for a great dinner made from whatever she found in the back of the freezer.
9. They can remain calm in the craziest of situations.
My sister once wandered away from my mom on a crowded train platform in the middle of New York City. Instead of melting into a puddle of tears and weeping over her misplaced child, she grabbed my hand, threw my brother over her shoulder and pushed her way through the thick crowed of people until she was able to pluck my sister from the platform. No yelling, no tears, no drama. Just Supermom saving the day.
10. They can multitask.
This might not sound like anything impressive, but one time I saw a mom spoon feed her baby, talk on the phone, save a toddler from falling in a pond and reapply her mascara. If this doesn’t scream mom goals, then I don’t know what does.
11. They have the ability to love you…even when you slam doors and stamp your feet.
This is probably the best power they have. Through thick and thin… despite all the evil and bitchy things you do… Mom will love you anyway.
Super-strength. Super-speed. Super-everything. Moms are their own type of creature adorned with fancy lie detectors and ‘stuff’ finders. But despite all of their fancy superhuman powers, Moms will still cry when they drop you off at college. I guess everyone has to have a weakness somewhere…
To all the Supermoms out there: your crazy, awesome, loving, talented, and sometimes rude children love you, thanks for being our superheroes.
