Mothers bring the food

That's just what they do. If you ask me what a mother's job is I'll selfishly say 'to provide food. Duh.' Of course, they do so much more then that. But who can live without food? Right, no one.

'Ma, what's for dinner?'
'Ma, there's noooooo fooooood in the house!'
'Ma, I'm starving, what's there to eat?'
'I opened the fridge 3 times and there's nothing there I like!'

Mother's provide food. That's just what they do. That's why they go to the grocery store every day, and load up shopping carts full of food.

That's why before every trip, even a really short one, they make you sandwiches, and pack you a lunch.

That's why as you are running out the door to go help a friend they scream after you, 'but you didn't eat your soup!' And when you say, 'Ma, I'll eat it later', they say, 'But you'll be hungry!'
Rolling my eyes.

That's why they buy bags and bags of junk food, when they are going to visit son in yeshiva. Cuz obviously, they don't feed him there. He must be starving. And of course pop corn and chips will fill him up. Duh.

That's why they are always in the kitchen. And why they leave a note saying where dinner is when they are not gonna be home. And why they microwave pizza for you when you come home from school cuz they know you'll be staaaaaarving.

Mother's provide food. That's just what they do.

They make it look easy. I ask my mother, how did you make that? And she laughs and says, oh that? You mix up some ingredients, that's all. But somehow when I 'mix up some ingredients' it turns out all wrong.

If you asked me who made the supper I'd say, no one, it just appeared on the table. Cuz that's what it seems. But I know the truth.

Mother's provide food. Food= love. Lots of food= lots of ________. You do the math.
