You only get one mom in this world, and chances are she has put you in your place on several occasions. While I have no proof of this, I argue that there are certain skills that you just magically get when you become a mom. Because no matter how hard I try, there are things that I have yet to be able to do with the same accuracy as my mother. There are several times that she has used her “mom skills," to remind me that her generation is way more self-reliant than mine. There is no way that I am the only one who feels this way, and I just know that some of you out there have mothers just like mine. I have no idea how she does it, but these are the skills she can whip out at any given time, that I cannot:

1. Untangle clumps of forgotten necklaces. Honestly I do not even try anymore, I just give them to her.

2. Magically get stains out of your favorite articles of clothing.

3. Find the one buy-able thing on a rack of misfit clothing.

4. Bribery. Let's be real… all of our moms have done it.

5. Manage to give you a smile that lets you know that you are in for it when people leave.

6. Saying, “Is that what you're wearing?" in a way that makes you question reality.

7. Finding things you lost in places that you already checked.

8. Folding laundry in a way that no one else, including you, can.

9. Taking three ingredients and actually making an edible meal.

10. Filling out doctor's office paperwork without getting super frustrated.

Moms are real life superheroes. They cook, they clean, they work, and they manage to beat you at Monopoly every time. They are pretty much amazing. Now go tell your mom that you love her, because that might be you in 30 years.
