How To Care For Mothers
Many of us take better care of our cars then we do our mothers and yet we
only expect our cars to last 5 or 6 years but we expect our mothers to last
for a lifetime. Maybe we need a maintenance manual for mothers so we would
know how to take care of them at least as well as we do our automobiles.
Here are some items that might be included in such a manual.
Engine
A mother's engine is one of the most dependable kinds you can
find. She can 1reach top speed from a prone position at a single cry from a
sleeping child. But regular breaks are needed to keep up that peak
performance. Mothers need a hot bath and a nap every 100 miles, a baby-
sitter and a night out every 1,000 miles, and a live in baby-sitter with a one week vacation every 10,000 miles.
Battery
Mother's batteries should be recharged regularly. Handmade items,
notes, unexpected hugs and kisses, and frequent "I love you's" will do very
well for a recharge.
Carburetor
When a mother's carburetor floods it should be treated
immediately with Kleenex and a soft shoulder.
Brakes
See that she uses her brakes to slow down often and come to a full
stop occasionally. (A squeaking sound indicates a need for a rest)
Fuel
Most mothers can run indefinitely on coffee, left overs and salads,
but an occasional dinner for two at a nice restaurant will really add to her
efficiency.
Chassis
Mother when their bodies are properly maintained. Regular
exercise should be encouraged and provided for as necessary. A change in
hairdo or makeup in spring and fall are also helpful. If you notice the
chassis begins to sag, immediately start a program of walking, jogging,
swimming, or bike riding. These are most effective when done with fathers.
Tune-ups
Mother need regular tune-ups. Compliments are both the
cheapest and most effective way to keep a mother purring contentedly.
If these instructions are followed consistently, this fantastic Creation
and gift from God, that we call MOTHER should last a lifetime and give good
service and constant love to those who need her most.
