If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a strong cup of coffee to go with it...She'll make herself some .  Then her four-year-old will spill the coffee, she'll wipe it up. While wiping the floor she'll find dirty socks.  She'll remember she has to do laundry.  When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and bump into the box of Goodwill items.  Bumping into the Goodwill items will remind her that she has to get these boxes out of her basement and into the car.  When she puts the boxes in the car she'll find a bag of groceries and this will remind her that she's got to start cooking dinner.  She will get out the chicken defrosting in the fridge.  Then she'll try to find her cookbook '101 Things to Do With Chicken'.  The cookbook will be sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill which is due tomorrow.  The checkbook will be in her purse that is being ransacked by her six year old.  As she bends down to rescue her purse, she'll smell something funny.  She'll change the baby's diaper.  While she is throwing away the diaper and searching for the hand sanitizer, the phone will ring.  Her four-year-old will answer and hang up.  She'll remember that she wants to call a friend to have coffee.  Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup in order to stay awake for the rest of the day.  And chances are....

If she finds her cup of coffee (which she now has to reheat) her children will have eaten the muffin that goes with it.
