Motherhood…
The strangest, funniest, most exhausting, and most miraculous state a person can ever live through in their own lifetime.
One morning, you realize you can no longer drink your coffee while it’s still hot.
In the evening, a toy car crashes into your legs.
At midnight, you are called with a long, sleepy “Mooom, waaaater.”
At the school gate, you witness a miniature drama.
You crash into the emotional tides of adolescence and wash up on the shore.
Sometimes you cry.
Sometimes you laugh.
Sometimes you do both at the same time.
And yet, when your child says, “Mom…,”
you are born again from the softest place in your heart.
“Motherhood, It’s Like a Joke…” is a book of all these contradictions—
the crises, the laughter, the inner monologues, and the mischievous memories.
