Hey Kids,

Let’s celebrate our Mothers.

Ha!! Stubb, you were dumped by the road! It’s a sad story but true.

TT, STOP! We have Ida Pearl; she’s our SUBSTITUTE MOM. She’s always ready for a cuddle and a kiss. Ida loves me. I just know it.

When I get one of Ida’s cookies, then I feel her LOVE.

Ida is probably at the old folks home or at the park, let’s find her. She needs a Mother’s Day smooch.

Lucky for us, Ida likes DOG KISSES. Most people frown and rub them off.

We find her in the park on her bench.

“Oh dear, TT, Ida Pearl looks sad!”

Look Out! The old gal has been crying! Stubb, grab a treat and run!

I wiggle close to her. I stretch my lips, puff out air, and out pops my amazing smile. Then I give her a wet kiss on her soft cheek.

“Stubby, I feel better now. My son was coming for Mother’s Day but he called and said maybe later!” Another tear rolls down over her wrinkles and disappears under her chin.

I snuggle closer to my Ida. “I love you Stubb. You’re good, soft, warm company.”

TT alert!! I’m WAITING! Where are the treats?

Ida Pearl, opens a small brown bag. “I saved some lunch for you. I was hoping you’d come.”

I gobble the tuna sandwich, and it’s yummy. TT is singing now that I’m nibbling on a crunchy cookie.

Our Ida Pearl is delightful, but her weird house slippers scare me!

Kids, hug your Mom, or hug a Substitute Mom. Forget about her name. It’s about the love. and the help, cuddles, smiles, pats, and hugs she gives us.

Remember God couldn’t be everywhere so he created Mothers.

Cherrio,

Stubb and TT
