The Chronicles of the SPPM

Just a touch of humor…

The other day I was trying to get something done – a very small something – and Paul seemed to have set himself the task of hindering me to the best of his abilities. He had to be very close to me, in my lap, touching me, having my full attention, or he fretted. At that frustrating moment, my sense of humor prevailed and I imagined him starting a society – the Society for the Prevention of Productivity in Mothers. This will explain the folderol that follows.

Letter from Paul Weaver to his aunt and cousin:

This is to notify Miss Nancy J. Hansen and Miss Lilias J. Mollman that they have been selected as charter members of the newly founded Society for the Prevention of Productivity in Mothers. The Rule and Purpose of the Society is simple: to coerce Mommy for at least 8 hours a day to feed you, change you, dress you, put you to sleep, play with you, or, if all else fails, just hold you, to the detriment of any other planned activity she may have had. You are free to sleep the other 16 hours if you are successful. On successful completion of this course, you will be promoted to the Society for the Perpetuation of Panic attacks in Mothers, aka toddlerhood.

Letter from Nancy to Paul:

lol, count me in

Letter from Lilias to Paul:

Dear Sir:
I appreciate your consideration in this proposal, it shows extreme generosity and kindness to your fellow babies. However I do present one complaint, namely that with my elite skills you only offered me charter membership when I would easily stand as Vice-President. I would have you know that I fully succeeded at coercing my mommy to stay up walking me till approx. 3:30 this morning, a trying task to be sure… and arose when my daddy did at 6:00 thereby also forcing my mommy again out of bed. Now, I do think you should consider the prospect of allowing for a position of higher standing than that which was proposed. Otherwise I see your organization as capital and imagine we can all benefit much from the ideas and antics of the other.

P.S. I don’t think you would blame me to know that I have retired for the moment to rest from my long night of work.

Reply from Paul to Lilias:

Miss Lili,
I beg your pardon sincerely. I did not realize you were so advanced. I will certainly consider your promotion.

Paul N. Weaver
President, SPPM

Hope it give you a chuckle… Mothers certainly are benefited by a sense of humor. Now off to get some things done…
