Mom was always there
If ever I fell
A kiss to scraped knee
Made it immediately well
She sees through a fib
By my facial expression
Then patiently waits to hear
The truth by confession
Mom knows my thoughts
Long before I do
Leaving me to wonder
If I left a clue
Looking in the mirror
Amazed by what I see
A picture perfect reflection
Of my dear mom in me

My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being, hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.

The coffee filter was invented in 1908 by a German homemaker, Melitta Benz, when she lined a tin cup with blotter paper to filter the coffee grinds.
