The Words of a Mother....

Statistics show that men and women do have a word quota for each day...with women saying more during their waking hours than men. Daily word averages said per day during the waking hours: Women = 16,215, Men = 15,669. (source: http://www.world-science.net/othernews/070705_gender-talk.htm)

I'm sure that a Mom's average is going to be slightly - since most mom's spend their entire day talking to their children...whether reading books, teaching manners, playing tea party or superheros, working on homework assignments, scheduling appointments, reminding a child to practice, teaching a basic life skill, giving friend or relationship advise, praying with their child or simply saying..."I love you!". A mom spends most hours of her day focused on raising a child that will one day be a well behaved, responsible, respectful adult.

Christian Comedian, Anita Renfroe has taken the various things a mothers says in a 24 hour period and put them to music in a 2.5 minute song. I found it rather fitting to use this hilarious, yet very true song to honor...all it is that our mom teach us from the time we are children all the way up through our adult lives.

Happy Mother's Day!!!
