thank you mom

***i'm leaving out details on purpose***
no one wants to hear people whine
whine
unless over a bottle of
wine....

thank you mom,
for not interferring
going to other moms
asking
did you hear this
did you hear that

for living your life

thank you mom,
so i know
it's really not ok
to go to other moms
asking
why this
why that

i know you would
have never shown up
called
other moms
daughters
unless
my very-life-long existance
depended on existing

so i know how to be a mom
to my three girls
one that doesn't whine
unless over wine
or try hard
not to
