When a mother gives birth to a child, that child is her pride and joy and the apple of her eye. She devotes her days and nights to the little baby and nourishes him or her until he or she grows into a young adult. After all of the late nights, screaming fights, and tears and laughter all of sudden it’s time for the little baby to fly the nest, decreasing the connection of the womb that gave him or her life and inadvertently being separated from their loving mother. Dropping off a child to college is a very proud yet sad day for a mother (my mom was bawling her eyes out in the middle of the street).
If any one of your student’s told their mothers that they would be coming home earlier that would make them so happy. I know my mom is already planning shopping trips and dinner dates with me for the exact moment I get home. An expression my dad has always vehemently adhered to and ingrained in us kids is “If momma ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy.” A lot of mom’s haven’t seen their kids in a while and are inevitably getting very sad and grumpy because we are just such lovely gems to have around. When our momma’s aren’t happy then everyone around them suffers, including husbands, their other children, the poor guy at Starbucks on Monday morning, or the overly-friendly co-worker just trying to say hi. So please, for the sake of all of the people who encounter our mother’s on any given day, cancel class on Friday so that our mother’s will be happy that she will be seeing our splendid faces sooner than expected and the surrounding people will not be greeted with a shrug and a scowl but a shining smile with the thought of the wonderful English teacher who cancelled class on Friday to thank.
