Moms Are Just Women.....But With Super Powers

I believe that women come into their powers, not at a certain age, but at the moment when they give birth.  They suddenly become superhuman.

 I used to believe that my own mother was an alien, she knew what I was up to, even though she was nowhere to be seen. She seemed to be able to be in two places at once. She used her mind-control on my teachers, so that I would pass the 7th grade, even though I went to school only once a week. She knew things, she had an intense stare that could make you do things, she was almost spooky!  I wondered when she would be found out and we would be sent back to our home planet, then one day,  I realized, she wasn't an alien, she was just a MOM.

Since I've become a mom, I have come into my own super powers, I now understand how my mother did what she did and still does what she does. If your a mom, I'm sure your aware of these magical powers you now have, but for  those of you who are not mothers or are soon to be moms, here is a list of some of the abilities us moms have acquired.

1. Supersonic hearing- we hear things, even dogs can't hear.
2. The extra set of eyes in the back of our head- just because you don't see us looking, doesn't  mean we don't know what your doing.
3. Ultra sensitive sniffer- we can smell poop to soup and what was unknowingly sprayed on the cat.
4. Voice changer- our ability to go from sweet baby talk, to "I mean business", to POSSESSED, in a matter of seconds.
5. Healing kisses
6. Safety hands
7. Sleep aid
8. Magic hugs
9. Elastic arms
10. Evil eye
11. Bug detection
12. Third arm

We might not have the silky, red cape, or the ability to fly, but we do have an alter ego and its called MOM. We drive our cool mom-mobile (also known to non-moms, as the mini-van). We are just a flash of shimmery hair, big purses and large sunglasses (for identity purposes), trying to get our to-do-lists done by 8pm, so we can finally (maybe) rest, get a snack (the only one we don't have to share with anyone), sit down (amongst the tiny toys and stale fishys)  and watch our reality TV,  while we make our new to-do-list for tomorrow.
