 Prompt: "The prompt today is very simple: Write about the person you call Mom."My mom was a shrewd woman. She used a lot of psychology in raising us kids even though I don't think she knew it was psychology. For example she told us that Marcino cherries had to cooked a certain way before you could eat them or they would kill you. She said that because she wanted the cherries to include in her delicious mixed fruit, and she knew we we would eat them out of the jar otherwise. She was shrewd. My brother is still convinced to this day that those cherries are poisonous. He always asks if we cooked them first. He knows you don't have to cook them but he still falls back on old habits. Mom was strict as well. She had to be. She had nine children and that meant keeping a tight reign on us. She threatened one time that she was going to get us out of bed and whip us on a daily basis to make sure she got us for whatever she happened to miss. Of course that never happened. She woke us every morning though and prepared our breakfast before going to school. She was a loving woman.    {2187984-33%} |
