Enjoy this personal story of one dad who realized just how amazing the moms in his life are.

 

One evening while I was working outside in the yard, my five-year-old son came and asked me if I could get him some chocolate milk. I was in the middle of some yard work so I told him I would get him some chocolate milk as soon as I was done with the yard project. About five minutes later, he was back again asking where his chocolate milk was. I said, rather impatiently, “Son, I’m busy right now. Remember what I always tell you? I can only do one thing at a time.” As my five-year-old headed back into the house I heard him say under his breath, “Mom can do more than one thing at a time…”
