If You Give Mom A Muffin

If you give Mom a muffin,
She'll want a strong cup of coffee to go with it.
She'll make herself some.
Her three year old will spill the coffee.
She'll wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she'll find dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and
bump into the box of Goodwill items.
Bumping into the Goodwill items will remind her she has to get these
boxes in the car and out of her basement.
When she puts the boxes in the car, she'll find a bag of groceries and
this will remind her she has to cook dinner.
She will get out the chicken defrosting in the fridge.
She'll look for her cookbook (101 Things To Do With Chicken).
The cookbook will be sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the Netflix movie she's meant to mail and the preschool
bill, which is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The checkbook will be in her purse that is being dumped out by her one
year old.
She'll smell something funny.
She'll change the baby's diaper.

As she finishes up, she'll realize she brought the hand sanitizer down
to the kitchen.
While she is throwing away the diaper and searching for the hand
sanitizer, the phone will ring.
Her three year old will answer and hang up.
She'll remember she wants to phone a friend not for coffee but a very
strong drink.
Thinking of drinking will remind her that she was going to have a cup
of coffee in order to stay awake for the rest of the day.
And chances are...

If she finds her cup of coffee (which she has to reheat by now),

Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
