do you like best about your Mom?
DownStreet
asks the question for our Mothers Day issue ... In
honor of Mothers Day, DownStreet interviewed a few folks to find out what
they had to say about "Mom." ... Here
are the results. ... What
do you like best
about your Mom? | 
|  | She
plays with me. I like that because it's fun. ...
Catch. Volleyball. ... She's taller than me. Dylan,
Age 5 | | I
like that she's so kind to me. ... And when she puts me to
bed, because she always lies down in bed with me. Claudia,
Age 7 | | I
like when she tucks me in. ... I like when we take walks in
the woods, because it's just me and her, and we spend time together and we
talk and stuff. Owen,
Age 10 | What's
not to like? She's loving, caring, kind-hearted ... unpredict-
able.
She always makes me laugh. She's always in a good mood ... well,
most of the time. ... If I need a ride somewhere she always takes
me. And she lets me hang out with my friends.Jake,
Age 13 | | She
always actively tries to take an interest in what I'm doing. She
listens and she usually doesn't get pissed off. ... She tries
really hard to be a good Mom, like being there and very supportive, even
if I usually push her away. ... She always knows what to
say. She's very good at making people feel good. Even if
things aren't so great, she's very optimistic. ... She's a
great musician and has made me really enjoy and appreciate music and make
it part of our daily lives. Eva,
Age 15 | | I
think my Mom's pretty amazing. What I like about her is her attitude
and her resilience. When faced with a challenge, she always tries to
figure out how she can use her resources and skills to make the best of
it. ... She's always open, learning and incredibly
supportive. Not to mention that I love her her a whole bunch, and
she loves me, and in my deepest self, I fully and completely know that she
loves me. Joy,
Age 47 |
