For all you stay-at-home moms

I just read this in a book and thought it was pretty witty...

Author and teacher Tony Campolo says his wife has an excellent comeback for people who condescendingly ask what it is moms do all day: "I am socializing two Homo sapiens into the dominant values of the Judeo-Christian tradition in order that they might be instruments for the transformations of the social order into the kind of eschatological utopia that God willed from the beginning of creation." Tony reports that often she would look at the person who had asked and inquire sweetly, "and what is it that YOU do?" Frequently the reply, "Uh, I'm a lawyer," was made in a very subdued voice.

Funny How much people underestimate what it is that Mamas do all day long.
