Dear Upham Community,
Happy Mother’s Day! For all of our Upham moms, I would like to present a small token of appreciation to you and all you do. We all know that Spider man has his “spidey” sense. Superman is faster than a speeding bullet. Batman has his superhuman suit. Wonder Woman has superhuman strength. All of these “superheros” have some sort of “superhuman” ability. Were you aware of the “Super Powers” that all mothers possess? Just ask them…they will tell you.
Outlined below are a few of the “super powers” moms possess:
Survive On No Sleep- Moms can go days with little or no sleep and still function at full capacity.
Superhuman Agility- Moms can crawl out of a room without disturbing a sleeping child.
Turn Frowns Upside Down- This can be done in seconds flat.
Superhuman Endurance- Can you hold a toddler on your hip for hours and hours and hours?
Healing Superpower- One kiss can make any boo boo disappear.
Flying- Yes! They can fly! Late for school? A trip to the hospital? They can fly!
Power of Duplication- A bunch of kids, a bunch of activities, three hours…No problem!
Sonic Scream- When needed…Watch out!
Superhuman Hearing- Hearing sneezes and coughs while they sleep and detect lies when they are awake!
Make Humans- Nothing to add!
