thanks, mom

"And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her lying on a blanket on the floor at 4:50a.m. all-at-once exhausted, bored, and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back.

'My mother did this for me once,' she will realize as she cleans feces off her baby's neck. 'My mother did this for me.' And the delayed gratitude will wash over her as it does each generation..."

~'The Mother's Prayer for Its Daughter {Tina Fey}

Thanks, mom.
