"Mothers...care for...cultivate...attend to...watch over...look after...nurse...hug and kiss...count to ten...irritate us...get all mushy...make us proud...wash behind our ears...We don't need a dictionary; for most of us it's the first word we ever know. And besides being the name we call out when we're sick, afraid, or proud of our accomplishments - mother is a verb. So here's to mothers, and everything thing they do." Snappy, not sappy! "Mother Is a Verb" is a beautiful, sweet, sometimes quirky tribute to mum-hood that features quotations paired with Mum-verb sayings. Each spread celebrates something mothers do! "To give quickly is a great virtue", a Hindu Proverb is paired with the truth we all know: Mothers know what we need before we know it ourselves. Or, "The patience of a mother might be likened to a tube of toothpaste-it's never quite all gone", is the exact opposite.
