A friend emailed this to me & I had to share.   Laughing


We had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently
died.

Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit
on him and  nothing ever bothered him.  He used to hang out and nap all
day long on this mat in our bathroom.

Well we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years
old, 3 years old and 1 year old.  The middle one is Eli.  Eli really
loves chapstick.  LOVES it.  He kept asking to use my chapstick and
then losing it.  So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom
I keep my chapstick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to but
he needed to put it right back in the drawer when he was done.

Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around
and try to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on.  
My two boys are fighting over the toy in the cereal box.  I am trying to
nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my make-up.
Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a
wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.

We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I
am looking for Eli.  I have searched everywhere and I finally round
the corner to go into the bathroom.  And there was Eli.  He was
applying my chapstick very carefully to Jack's . . . rear end.  Eli looked right into my eyes and said "chapped."  Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right--their little butts do look pretty chapped.  And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind.

And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it
was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind or the hundredth.

And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it
reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little
creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your chapstick on the cat's butt.
