Moms and air shows

There are some things you do simply because you are a Mom.

When your boys look to you for a thumbs up while they watch death-defying motorcycle stunts that no mother wants to think of her child ever repeating, you will cheer and share their enthusiasm, because you're a mom.

When stunt planes loop and dive in the air, making you want to lose your lunch simply from watching, you'll say "WOW!! Amazing!!" and try to hide the nerves in your voice because you are a mom.

When Monster Trucks roar and rumble and you wish you had better earplugs, you'll sit and watch anyway with your boys, because you are a mom.

And when the Blue Angels scream through the air and your boys want to snuggle up close to you and have you hold your hands over their ears, you will because you are their mom.

And you'll love every minute of it.

I have a fear of air shows...I have no idea why. Glad your eardrums survived.
