Imagine
A Mother’s Version of Imagine
(with apologies to John Lennon)
Imagine there’s no crying
It’s easy if you try
No toys scattered below us
Above us only wine
Imagine all the mothers
A little less crazy
Imagine there’s no crankiness
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to scream or cry for
And no back-talking too
Imagine all the mothers
Having just one day of peace
You may see that I’m a mother
Mistreated and maligned
Maybe one day you’ll join me
You too can lose your mind
Imagine no bickering
I wonder if you can
No need for timeouts
Or fighting in the van
Imagine all the children
Sharing all the toys
You may see that I’m a mother
Mistreated and maligned
Maybe one day you’ll join me
You too can lose your mind
OH. MAH. GAWD.
YOU ARE TEH BRILLIANT AWESOME.

bwahaha… OK, that totally just about made me spit coffee all over my laptop when I read that. My 2 yr old just puts her hands over her ears and starts doing the ‘la la la’ thing. lol
Great job. I love it!
Love it. Especially the reference to the van (which I’m trying to avoid purchasing, but one day might get enough uppers to make driving one actually enjoyable).

DOOOOON’T DO IT!!!! I hate minivan’s too.
Instead I drive a big ass truck (Dodge Ram Mega Cab) and we have a Chrysler Pacifica (seats 6, but still looks like a car)
you just one up’d john lennon.
And THIS is why I love you so.
Too funny, too true! XOXO
Surviving our brilliant and boisterous children is predicated on imagination. Clearly, you have a surplus of it. Bravo

I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy. Totally brilliant. You need to put it to music and sell that shiz yo.

Brilliant. If you can write lyrics like that while sleep-deprived, you are my hero. Hope you get some rest this weekend.
WOW LOL Awesome. Did you write this? Youre magical!
