Feeling ill…who you gonna call, motherbuster.

Inscribe it in the good book. If offspring are gripped by illness, whether it be a cold, virus, broken bones, headache, flu, they reach out for mommy…age, martial status…nothing matters. Mothers get the call and respond faster than 911.

No one understands what to do better than a mom. Tissues appear, tea is brewed, cough drops fall from the sky onto the bedside stand. Homemade chicken soup is whipped up. If the sick child is long distance, mother’s locate surrogates.

Fever, they have the remedy. Stomach ache they are on it. Migraine, instant massage. Infection, out comes the hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin. There is nothing Super Mom cannot handle, combat and defeat. Even serious illness cannot render Super Mom defenseless. She will hunt down the experts and leave no stone unturned.

So mom’s, if you at times feel ignored, no worries. You know your children are happy because when things are good, they are too busy to call. Illness, break ups, job disappointments, bitchy so-called friends, you are the first person they reach out to.

We are always needed and with our super powers, mothers make everything better.

GO Super Mom!!

Cure All Chicken Soup Recipe

• 1 soup chicken or poulet. Kosher chicken is best. Poulet sold at butcher shop or buy a roaster from the market.
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• 5 carrots peeled and sliced
• 1 large whole sweet onion
• 1 green pepper, cut in half and seeded
• 1/4 bunch of flat parsley
• kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Place chicken in pot and cover with water. Bring to boil and add vegetables. Cook on medium heat until chicken is tender. Cook for a minimum of 1 hour. Pierce with fork to test tenderness. When chicken is tender, skim fat off the top of soup. Remove all veggies except carrots. Makes about 10 servings. Cook noodles or rice separately and add to each bowl of soup. Cut up chicken meat and add to soup.

Enjoy and be healthy!
