Where's the thanks for being a mum?
All the things you say and do.
And all that you really get is…
It's a thankless task.
Although, is that a 'thank you'?
And that?
And even that?
The 'thank you' of a tiny chap?
Because you should know that it is you who gets us excited.
Not toys, but you.
And what we really mean is 'thanks, Mum'.
Thanks, Mum, for telling me all this great stuff,
So one day, I'll know enough.
So when I say 'No!', what I really mean is 'let's go!'.
Keep talking.
You are the codebreaker.
The Supergirl.
The exhausted hero of our tiny world.
Because even when it seems hum-drum, keep talking.
This face means 'Thanks, Mum!'.
As a mum, you do a lot for your child. In the early days, you're changing nappies and soothing a crying baby at all hours of the day and night. Later, you're organising playdates, defusing tantrums and dealing with the stresses of starting school.
You rarely get the praise you deserve for all of these things.
But this Mother's Day, a group of children say thank you to their mums for all that they do for them.
You are the codebreaker. The Supergirl. The exhausted hero of our tiny world.
