WHETHER SHE’S MOMMY OR MUM, TIDBITS® PRESENTS

A SALUTE TO MOM!by Sarah Bates

Celebrating Mom is an international tradi-tion that spans centuries – and here at Tid-bits, we like to celebrate that tradition with some facts, quotes and trivia dedicated to Mom.

The oldest •woman to c o n c e i v e n a t u r a l l y was Dawn Brooke of Guersney. She gave birth to her son on Au-gust 20, 1997atfifty-nineyearsold.Gaia, or Terra is the ancient goddess •of the earth and is considered by many historians to be representative of Mother Earth.When John F. Kennedy, Jr. dated Madon-•na back in the 80s, Jackie would have nothing to do with it. John was quoted as saying, “I don’t want to string her along if I’m really just rebelling against Mother.”“When you are a mother, you are never •really alone in your thoughts. A mother al-ways has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.” - Sophia Loren

be with her kids.“God could not be everywhere and there-•fore he made mothers.” - Jewish ProverbThe Greek myth for the origins of the •seasons all started with the sorrow of a mother. Peresephone, the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, was kidnapped by Hades and taken to his kingdom in the underworld.Aftermanydifficulties,Perse-phone was only forced to stay with Hades for one season of the year and it is said that Demeter, the goddess of grain and fertility, makes this season the most bar-ren and desolate of all the seasons as a sign of her mourning the time her daugh-ter is away. The Egyptian goddess Isis is one of the •earliestknowncelebratedmotherfigures.She was the wife of Osiris and the mother ofHorus,thefirstrulerofaunifiedEgpyt.She was worshipped as the mother of all Pharaohs.Mother’s Day is celebrated on the first•Sunday in May in South Africa and the last Sunday in May in Sweden.Feodor Vassilyev was a Russian peasant •who was married twice. What is most re-markableabouthimwasthathisfirstwifeset the record for most children born of a single mother. According to the Guiness book of World Records, Feodor’s wife gave birth twenty-seven times and sixty-seven of her sixty-nine children survived infancy. How is this possible? Feodor’s wife bore him sixteen pairs of twins, sev-en sets of triplets and four sets of quadru-plets!

A SALUTE TO MOM! (continued)

“Mother” is an energy drink from the land •down under and is put out by the Austra-lian distributors of Coca-Cola.August is the most popular month for •women to give birth.All of Mr. Rogers’s cardigans were hand-•knit by his mother.Mother’s Day is officially celebrated on•May 10th in India.“Mother”(1926)isafilmaboutawoman’s•struggle during the Russian revolution.A mother is someone who studies moths. •It is pronounced moth-er.Jayne Bleackly gave birth to her daugh-•ter Annie (3/20/00) 208 days after giving birth to her son, Joseph (9/3/99). This is the shortest interval between births for one mother on record.Rhea is the mother of most Greek deities, •including Zues.A celebration of mothers was practiced •in early Europe on the fourth Sunday in Lent. On this day, Christians celebrat-ed the church they were baptized in as their “mother church.” In the 1600s, this cel-ebration was expanded to in-clude all moth-ers and was called Mother-ing Day.Mothering Day •was brought to America with the Pilgrims.The American •celebration of Mother’s Day began with Julia Ward Howe’s 1870 Mother’s Day Proclamation. She called for an interna-tional Mother’s Day to celebrate peace and motherhood. Howe was the author of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.In 1908, U.S. Senator Elmer Burkett pro-•posed a National Mother’s Day. The pro-posal was defeated, but by 1909, nearly all the states held Mother’s Day servic-es.In 1949, Woodrow Wilson declared the •second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.Elizabeth Ann Buttle gave birth to her •son Joseph 41 years and 185 days after she gave birth to her daughter Belinda in 1956. This is the longest interval between births by one woman in recorded history.Jenna Cotton has three children born on •the same date: Ayden 10/02/03, Logan 10/02/06 and Kayla 10/02/07. What are

the odds? 7.5 in every one million births.“I looked on child rearing not only as a •work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and challeng-ing as any honorable profession in the world and one that demanded the best that I could bring to it.” – Rose KennedyAnother film titled “Mother” (1996) stars•Albert Brooks and Debbie Reynolds. Reynolds’ role of Mother was original-ly offered to both Doris Day and Nancy Reagan.Omkari Panwar of India is the oldest re-•corded woman to give birth. She was estimated to be about seventy years old when she gave birth to her twins– it was an estimate due to the fact that she does nothaveabirthcertificate.Sheconceivedthrough in vitro fertilization and delivered the children in 2008.Althoughitiscurrentlyunverified,aPolish•record shows Margaret Krasiwa (1655-1763) married for the third time at age ninety-four and had three children in that marriage.In Yugoslovia, Children’s Day is celebrat-•ed three days before Christmas.

But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) While oth-ers urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel dominates the week, and despite some delays in getting to where you want to go, the overall experience should prove to be a positive one in many ways.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine self-confidencecomesroaringbackaftera brief period of doubt and helps you get through a week of demanding challenges and ultimately emerge triumphant.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Virgos who have made a major commit-ment -- personal or professional -- should be able to tap into a renewed reservoir of self-confidence to help them followthrough.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You could soon receive news from a surpris-ing source that could cause you to change your mind about how you had planned to deal with an ongoing job-related problem.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A surprise move of support from a col-league who has never been part of your circle of admirers helps influence othersto take a new look at what you’ve put on the table.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) While a bold decision to take an “I know what I’m doing” approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A misunderstanding ‘twixt you and a friend might not be your fault at all, despite what he or she suggests.

You may recall the character of Tarzan •from movies and cartoons as somewhat lacking in language skills -- “Me Tarzan, you Jane.” In the novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, however, Tarzan was quite a linguist, speaking French, Latin, English, German, Dutch, Portuguese, several di-alects of Arabic and ancient Mayan.It was expatriate British novelist, poet, •dramatist and travel writer Lawrence George Durrell who made the following observation: “There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her or turn her into litera-ture.”Researchers have determined that in-•fants tend to react strongly to the color red -- and to no other color.If you suffer from entomophobia -- the •fear of insects -- you might not want to read the following tidbit of information: Those who study such things say that there are more than a quarter of a mil-lion different species of beetle.In the mid-1990s, a Thai man who kept •peacocks was killed by one of his pets whenthesolemale in theflockclawedhim viciously. In retribution, the man’s family killed the bird and cooked it in curry.Four-time Pulitzer-winner and American •poet laureate Robert Frost was named after Confederate General Robert E. Lee.The neck of the trumpeter swan is the •same length as the rest of its body.You might be surprised to learn that •air conditioning in private homes was available in the United States as early as 1929. Of course, that was the same year as the great stock market crash, so few people availed themselves of the newfangled -- and expensive -- conve-nience.

Thought for the Day: “A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.”

Sophie and Shirley, two elderly widows in a Florida adult community, are curious about the latest arrival in their building -- a quiet, nice looking gentleman who keeps to him-self. Shirley says, “Sophie, you know I’m shy. Why don’t you go over to him at the poolandfindoutalittleabouthim.Helooksso lonely.” Sophie agrees, and later that day at the pool, she walks up to him and says, “Excuse me, mister. I hope I’m not prying, but my friend and I were wondering why you looked so lonely.” “Of course I’m lonely,” he says, “I’ve spent the past 20 years in prison.” “You’re kidding! What for?” “For killing my third wife. I strangled her.” “What happened to your second wife?” “I shot her.”“And, if I may ask, your firstwife?” “We had a fightand she fell off a building.” “Oh my,” says Sophie. Then turning to her friend on the other side of the pool, she yells, “Yoo hoo, Shirley. He’s single.”As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection. A thick slab of ham, a fresh bun, crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gour-met mustard. The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the picnic table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my wife suddenly at my side. “Hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich,” she said.I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoul-der and was reaching again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mus-tardonmyfingers.Ilovemustard.Ihadnonapkin. I licked it off. It was not mustard!No man ever put a baby down faster. It was the firstandonly time Ihavesprintedwithmytongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand I did the sort of routine shoeshine boys do, only I did it on my tongue. Later (after she stopped crying from laughing so hard) my wife said, “Now you know why they call that mustard ‘Poupon.’”The children begged for a hamster, and after the usual fervent vows that they alone would care for it, they got one. They named it Danny. Two months later, when Mom found herself responsible for cleaning and feed-ing the creature, she located a prospective new home for it. The children took the news of Danny’s imminent departure quite well, though one of them remarked, “He’s been around here a long time--we’ll miss him.” “Yes,” Mom replied, “But he’s too much work for one person, and since I’m that one per-son, I say he goes.” Another child offered, “Well, maybe if he wouldn’t eat so much and wouldn’t be so messy, we could keep him.” ButMomwasfirm.“It’stimetotakeDanny

to his new home now,” she insisted. “Go and get his cage.” With one voice and in tearful outrage the children shouted, “Danny? We thought you said Daddy!”A blonde couple was delighted when their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption center called and told them that they had a wonderful Russian baby boy and the couple took him without hesitation. On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local college so they each could enroll in night courses. After they filledouttheforms,theregistrationclerkin-quired, “What ever possessed you to study Russian?” The couple said proudly, “We just adopted a Russian baby, and in a year or so he’ll start to talk. We just want to be able to understand him.”Winston Churchill is arguably one of the greatest speakers of all time - and he had a wicked sense of humor. One time he was speaking with Lady Astor. Lady Astor: “Win-ston,ifyouweremyhusband,Ishouldflavoryour coffee with poison.” Churchill: “Madam, if I were your husband, I should drink it.”I was scheduledtoflyfromNorthCarolinatoGermany, where my husband was stationed in the military. As I checked in at the airport, the ticket agent asked me some standard security questions. “Has anyone given you a package that you didn’t pack yourself?” he asked. I told him that my mother-in-law had given me a parcel to take to her son. He paused for a second, looked at me very carefully and asked: “Does she like you?”
