Mother's Maintenance Manual
Many of us take better care of our cars than we
do our mothers and yet,
we only expect our cars to last 5 or 6 years,
but we expect our mothers
to last a life time.
Maybe we need a
maintenance manual for mothers so
we would know how to take care of them at least
as well as we do our automobiles.
Here are some items that might be included in
such a manual
ENGINE: A mother's engine is one of the most
dependable kinds you can
find.
BATTERY: Mother's batteries should be recharged
regularly.
Handmade
items, notes, unexpected hugs and kisses, and
frequent "I love you's"
will do very well for a recharge.
CARBURETOR: When a mother's carburetor floods,
it should be treatedimmediately with Kleenex
and a soft shoulder.
BRAKES: See that she uses her brakes to slow
down often and come to a full stop
occasionally. (A squeaking sound indicates a
need for a rest.)
FUEL: Most mothers can run indefinitely on
coffee, left overs and salads, but an
occasional dinner for two at a
nice restaurant will really add to her
efficiency.
CHASSIS: Mothers run best when their bodies are
properly maintained.
Regular exercise should be encouraged and
provided for as necessary.
A
change in hairdo or makeup in spring or fall
are also helpful.
If you
notice the chassis begins to sag, immediately
start a program of
walking, jogging, swimming, or bike riding.
These are most effective when done with
fathers.
TUNE-UPS: Mothers need regular tune-ups.
Compliments are both the
cheapest and most effective way to keep mothers
purring contentedly.
