Caught wearing my mom genes. Darn.



Backstory

As a dear friend was contemplating taking a scary step forward, I went all-in with the pep talk. Part cheerleader, part spiritual advisor, part life coach.

"Thanks, Mom," she said, laughing.

Yep, full-on Mommy mode. Busted again.

I get the "thanks Mom" comment quite often, even though I don't have kids of my own. It's usually said to me with a rude tone, from my 'adult friends'

My mom was hot. I mostly got dad's genes.

I so get this - I was once called mother of the world, and I don't think it was meant as a compliment. It's what we do:-(

Kindred we are, CF.
