親的依戀與感激。

A Mother Knows

Lynn Ruth Miller

Not all women who have children are mothers。 You can tell a true mother by the penetrating1 look in her eye。 A mother always knows everything about you。 Absolutely everything。

I had such a mother。 I could hide nothing from her。 When I would walk into the house after pigging out on chocolate cake at the neighbor’s; she would glance at me and say; “How many times do I have to tell you not to eat between meals? No dessert for you tonight; young lady。”

I looked at her; dumbfounded: How could she see across the street and through the walls of my friend’s house; while she was cleaning the bathroom floor?

“How did you know that?” I asked; wiping crumbs from my chin。

“A mother always knows;” she said。“I can read your forehead。 Hand me the Bon Ami。 I see a fingerprint on the doorknob。 ”

When I would race into the house from school; my eyes popping like a choked fish; my mother would simply point to the bathroom door。 “How did you know I had to go?” I asked; as I galloped2 to the toilet with my legs twisted like a pretzel。

My mother would shrug。 “I read it on your forehead。”

When I got a bit older; her forehead reading became truly remarkable。 I could hide absolutely nothing from that woman’s penetrating gaze。 I would e home from a date; and my mother would scowl ominously。

“Do you know what time it is?” she’d say。 “Men don’t marry fast girls。 ”

“We were only holding hands; for God’s sake;” I lied; rubbing my chafed mouth。

“You can’t fool me; Lynn Ruth;” said my mother。“I can read the whole vulgar story on your forehead。 Put some lotion on your face; or you’ll look like a raw tomato tomorrow。 ”

Her amazing knowledge of things she could not see
