Well, today is Mother's Day and I saw the above ecard and just had to smile. My mother was a genius at making my brother, sister and me all feel like we were her favorite child. I take that back, we each KNEW we were her favorite and will argue the point even today.
This is really remarkable because outsiders can look at a family and quickly know the mother's favorite child, but not with my mom. My sister, Vicki, was "the favorite" because she was the oldest, athletic and outgoing. I was "the favorite" as being the middle child I was the peace maker, the sweet one, the hard working one. Tommy was "the favorite" because he was the baby, adorable, charming and popular. She really had a gift at making us each feel so special. My mother passed away many years ago so we will never know for sure who was the favorite, but that is okay. I know it was me.
