Brennan's Mother's Day Essay Contest

In honor of Mother's Day, here is the essay Brennan wrote for class, which was then submitted to a local jewelry store.  Mark teases me about how I always throw him under the bus on my blog.  I am not above throwing myself under the bus for a good chuckle, so here goes.  I am not holding my breath for any Jared's box arriving at my door on Sunday...

Brennan, 4th Grade

People say that nobody is perfect.  This is true.  But the person I think is the closest to being perfect is my Mom.  She loves me, cares for me, feeds me, and gives me shelter.  This is another part, the most important part.  She gave birth to me.

If you didn't have a mom, and if there were no moms, there would be no people.  God created the world and people.  It is a great and wonderful thing.  Love him for the world and love him for moms!

Moms aren't perfect, but they do a pretty good job of running the house.  They do give you chores, but imagine what your house would look like without chores!  "A pig sty!!!"  That's what my Mom would say. 

Moms get mad, but it's a part of Mom-world.  My Mom got mad because my brother and I were fighting over a doughnut.  My Mom yelled and screamed.  Then she threw the whole box of doughnuts on to the floor.  She got really mad.  But she is my Mom, and no one is perfect.  And if she didn't give birth to me, I couldn't have written this beautiful story about why I love my Mom.
