The Changing Image of Mother
taken from the back of the May 2005 St. Paul UMC Carillion, for Mother's Day
==
As we age, our perspective changes:
4-year-old: "My mommy can do anything!"
8-year-old: "My mom knows a lot! A whole lot!"
12-year-old: "My mother doesn't really know quite everything."
14-year-old: "Naturally, mom doesn't know that, either!"
16-year-old: "Mom? She's hopelessly old-fashioned."
18-year-old: "That old woman? She's way out of date."
25-year-old: "Well, she might know a little bit about it."
30-year-old: "She's smarter than she used to be."
35-year-old: "Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion."
50-year-old: "Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?"
65-year-old: "Sure wish I could talk it over with mom."

Remember this the next time you hear someone say "Yo Mama" or "Mommy!" or "Grandma," etc.
