What J thinks about his mum!!


My lovely son made the following speech to his class today (secret: he and I worked on it together!!!).
My Mum

I love my mum. For one thing she’s responsible. I mean, whatever happens, my mum is always responsible.
I’m not sure yet if my mother's blonde, even though she flushed her phone down the loo then laughed like crazy. And when she loses something, she always has a mothers look even when the thing was right in front of her.
What, might you ask, is a “mothers look” –well, it’s similar to a “girl’s look" - you know - where they move everything & there’s more mess than they started with. Well, the difference with a “mother’s look” is that after Mum’s found whatever she’s looking for, she starts looking for the things she’s moved because she’s forgotten where she’s put them!
I’m just waiting for the day when Mum tells me "Be good and for your birthday I'll buy you a motorcycle!" or "I don't have a tissue with me -- just use your sleeve." Then I’ll know that she’s blonde.

My mum and I have a couple of reasonable arguments such as:

- I think a messy bedroom is a sign of creativity." Mum doesn’t seem to think so.

- I leave all the lights on ... it makes the house more cheery, but Mum gets ticked off if you do that.

My mum is really weird! She likes cricket but can’t stand listening to it on the radio. Mum said we would never get a bird but now we have we have Charlie. A beautiful budgie.

My mum’s favorite colour is green and she doesn’t really like pink, but the fact is pink looks good on her and green makes her look really sick. Freaky, hey?

Mum loves my family even when M is having a bad hair day. Even when I’m complaining about being too sick go to school (and she sends me anyway!). Even when dad has a headache. And even when B has a temper tantrum.

You may ask how I came up with this speech. Well, it was actually going to be about toe wrestling but I needed something more hilarious so I thought and thought until I came up with the perfect thing. My mum!

And that is why I love my mum!

By the way, if you liked this speech, my name is J T. If you didn’t like this speech than my name is Mr. M! (J's teacher)

Hi Joel, I totally agree about leaving the lights on and a messy bedroom. I am constantly being told to turn the lights off when I am finished with them and to pick up my floordrobe... AND I don't live with my mum!!! It never ends :)
Heather your a great mum, and I can imagine great fun to live with :P
