The mother was
so proud
of her daughter
not one day!
that she didn't tell her
You're so smart!
How'd you know that?!
You move like light dancing!
That's so funny! YOU're so funny!
Really? That's amazing!
I love the way you sing!
You make my heart happy, dear child!
You make the world a better place.
And as it turns out
the daughter grew up to be all of that.
And sometimes
the child was not even
the mother's daughter
There's more than one way to be a mother
