The boys had lots of gifts for Mom today, including the following essay Michael wrote in school:
My Mom
by Michael
My Mom's name is Ruth. She is special because she loves me. She has pretty eyes. I like when my Mom tells me jokes. I think she's the best at reading. My Mom is super smart! She even knows how to bake. I love when my Mom and I read. I'd like to tell my Mom that I want her to start allowance.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
