Mojito Mom
If you give a mom a mojito, she will smile politely and say thank you
When she picks it up, she’ll notice there’s condensation on the table
She will clean it up with her napkin
After she’s done cleaning it up, she will go throw out the napkin
When she opens the trash she’ll notice it is full
And of course, she will go empty the trash
As she takes out the trash, she will realize there’s a basket of dirty clothes by the washer
She will throw the clothes in and start a new load
This reminds her that she needs to change the sheets in the bedroom
She goes over to the bedroom and strips the bed. That’s when she looks at the clock
The time reminds her that she has to go grocery shopping
She will drive to the store and pick up everything on her list
When she gets home, she will realize she has to put away the groceries
Upon opening the fridge, she will notice it needs to be cleaned
She cleans the fridge and puts everything away
As she turns around she will see the herbs on the windowsill
The mint catches her attention and reminds her of the mojito
And chances are, if she remembers the mojito, she’ll turn to you and ask you to make her one.
