I'm tired from a long day.
I'm trying to wash a very full sinkload
of pots, pans, mixing bowls, cookie sheets.
"Mommy, can I help you?"
She nudges against me. I sigh.
There is no more room at the sink.
I don't want a wet mess.
"NO!"
Then I come to my senses.
What am I doing?
Here I have a willing helper!
And a lot of work to do!
"Here, Melody, how about drying for me?"
Melody dried a dozen things,
handed one by one, mother to daughter.
handed one by one, mother to daughter.
She even put them away without being asked!
Then she said, "That be a good job!"
Yes, it was!
"Thank you, sweetheart!"
"Thank you, sweetheart!"
Come, weary moms....
Let your children help you.
Work together side by side!
Keep a happy heart
and it might rub off on your kids.
After all, Melody's happy heart
sure rubbed off on me!
"That be a good job!"
"That be a good job!"
I'm so thankful Sally directed us to your site...I've already been blessed by you. Thank you so much!
