I have always joked about being the mom of the group and pointing out how ironic it is that I’m actually the youngest of my friends. It’s always been in lighthearted nature, but the more I look at it’s true. There isn’t anything wrong with being the mom friend, in fact it’s pretty awesome. My mom is one of the greatest people I know. She’s strong, she’s not afraid to tell it like it is, and she’s always there when you need her the most. There have been far too many days where she looks at me and says we’re too much alike, and if that’s even half true, I’m honored to have inherited the “mom gene”. Now the “mom gene” doesn’t make you baby crazy, it’s the gene that tends to make you the caretaker of the group, the one that looks out for everyone and is prepared for just about anything.
Here are 19 things that any mom friend has probably said, or can at least relate to:
1) We can take my car.
2) Here, I can throw that in my purse.
3) Don't worry, I can fix this.
4) You probably shouldn’t try climbing that.
5) Take a nap, you’ll feel better.
6) Do you really need that?
7) Stop.
8) Don’t touch that.
9) I’ll make/get you something to eat.
10) I don't drink much.
11) Because I said so.
12) Well, have you eaten yet today?
13) Wait, I think I have that in my purse.
14) You should bring a jacket, it might get cold later.
15) I think you've had enough to drink.
16) Stay right there, I'll come get you.
17) Oh I love this song!
But only when followed by the appropriate dance.
18) Do you need anything while I'm at the store?
19) Drive safe! Let me know when you get home!
