If You Give A Mom A Cookie

She’s going to want a latte to go with it.

But before she gets a latte,

She has to find her toddler’s pink ladybug boots.

To find the pink ladybug boots,

She has to venture into the playroom.

When she tries to straighten up the playroom,

She finds Daddy’s left shoe,

The salad bowl,

And an open package of graham crackers.

She also finds her cell phone.

So she’ll yell at her toddler about the cell phone

And wake up the baby from his morning nap.

But if she goes in to pick up the baby,

The cell phone will ring.

When she answers,

It’ll be the doctor’s office reminding her

That she had an appointment this morning

And would she like to reschedule it

Say, sometime in November?

While she’s trying to mentally re-create her calendar,

The baby will start to cry.

Then her toddler will run to see what’s the matter

And find the graham crackers.

When she finds the graham crackers,

There’ll be crumbs all over the playroom.

So the mom will get the broom from the hall closet

And notice that daddy forgot to buy diapers last night,

As she asked.

But she will find the toddler’s pink ladybug boots.

And when she finds the pink ladybug boots,

She remembers her emergency stash of diapers in the car.

So she’ll wrestle her toddler

And her baby

Into their car seats

And drive to the store to buy more diapers

And more milk.

While she’s buying the milk,

She’ll remember that she wanted that latte.

And if she manages to order her latte

Without a tantrum or poop episode from either of her kids…

Then she’s going to need another cookie.
