1) You whip out your “mom” camera

-You always keep your camera in your purse because you never really know when you need to capture something awesome that they’re doing.

2) You’re reliable

-You chose not to have all the fun so you're friends can

-Always a safe ride

-If you say you’re going to be there, you are going to be there.

3) Always prepared

SNAAACKS

-You always have the food whether its at school, a football game, road trip, or anywhere really.

4) You do the homework (even if they’re in different classes)

You send out the mass email of the homework answers. "But I promise if you don't change it up, it's the last time."

5) Make sure they’re safe

-Text me when you get home please, thank you.

^^^^^^You end up texting them when you KNOW they’re home.

6) You’re the portable pharmacists/doctor/nurse (anything they need really)

-You, for some reason, always have medicine/first aid kit ready to go. I,no lie, kept the 500 pill bottle of ibuprofen in my school backpack and purse.

7) You send out reminders

“No you are not drinking a sip until you put food in that stomach, remember what happened last time”- I say that A LOT

“Remember we’re having family breakfast in the morning so set 11 alarms.”

“Don’t forget to study for that test, it’s tomorrow.”

“You have one more absence until Saturday school.”— @avery

8) You’re their biggest fans

~You support them in everything they do (soccer and softball games, dancing at halftime, competitive theater)

9) They make you not want to have kids of your own sometimes

~You actually get stressed out dealing with them but…

10) You wouldn’t want to be the “mom” of any other hoodlums

You love them dearly, and wouldn’t want anything to happen to them. <3 <3 <3 I love being Mama Anna.
