My Mom is Special
My mother’s the kind of mother
who would do anything for you
(well, at least almost anything). |
love my mom a lot because of the
fun times we have together and
things we share.

One really funny time was when
my dad was away on a business
trip, a forest mouse wandered into
our house. It was scary, but my
mom was the brave one. She
grabbed a basket and tried to
catch the mouse, but it was too
quick for her. It scurried under a
cupboard, Later on, we had to
buy mouse traps!

Another funny time was when
my mom, brother and | went to a
frog pond. It was spring time, so
there were many frogs’ eggs. So
do you know what my mom did?
She kicked off her Reeboks and
into the pond she went. She
quickly scocped the eggs up with
a net. You should have seen how
muddy she looked! But that didn’t
bother her, because she did this
for my science project.

1 love my mom because she's
caring, she’s funny, and she’s
kind. Of course, I love her best
because she’s my mom!

When | was younger, £ used to
see my mother as the enforcer of
law and order in the household.
She would always deal out the
punishment and scold us if we
were behaving badly. She was
basically the policeman of the
house.

But recently my interpretation
of her has changed. Now I see her

a friend, someone that is there
to help me and console me.
Maybe it is because I’m maturing,
but in my view she has changed
into one of my closest friends. I
love you, Niom.

My mother is a special onc. She
helps me when {’m sad. The love
she gives lots of is very special
love.

Chocolate, cake, or flowers will
certainly not do. All she needs is a
sign of love, it’s a gift from me to

you.
