Day 7 What If

What if Moms…

What if moms really did
have eyes in the back of their heads?
Would they also have to have rotating waists
so they could go any in any direction?
How would they fix their hair
so they could see out of all four eyes?
Would they had to have four ears
to hold up two pair of glasses?

What if moms really did have eight arms?
Would they still teach their kids to do chores
if they truly could do everything at once?
Would they have to have an extra brain
to keep up with the arms? With four left hands,
would they wear four wedding rings?
What would a blouse look like with eight sleeves?
Would moms shop at Octopuses-R-Us?

What if moms really could read your mind?
Would they go nuts listening to Barney reruns,
endless questions like why is the sky blue,
what so and so said to the cute guy in class,
worries about teen wardrobes, pop tunes?

What if moms really did follow you around
inside your head for the rest of your life
making you say things you never thought you’d say?
