> We had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died.  Jack was

a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever

bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on the mat in our

bathroom. We have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3

years old and 1 year old.

> The middle one is Eli.  Eli really loved chap stick. LOVED it. He kept asking

to use my chap stick and then losing it.

>

> Finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom that I kept my chapstick

and explained he could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to put it

right back in the drawer after he finished because I used it sometimes several

times a day.

> That year, on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around to try to

get ready for church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are

fighting over the toy in the cereal box.

> I am trying to nurse my little one at the same time I am putting on my

make-up.  Everything is a mess and everyone has long forgotten that this is a

wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.

>

> We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car, and I am looking

for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally go into the bathroom.

> There was Eli.  He was applying my chap stick very carefully to Jack's rear

end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said " chapped... "

> Now if you have a cat, you know that he is right - their little bottoms do

look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind. And the only

question to ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli had done

that to the cat's behind or the hundredth!?!

>

> And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever, because it reminds us that

no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there

will always be that day when you realize... they've been using your chapstick on

the cat's butt
