MOTHER'S DAY IS THIS SUNDAY MAY 10 Ask Children If You Want To Know Ingredients Of A World-Class Mom BY MARJOR1K MKCIVERN As one of the biggest hearts-and flowers, chocolate-box holidays of the year. Mother's Day may also be the only one when the choice gift is a crayon drawing, crooked and primitive. This gift, which shouls "I love you" louder than a diamond bracelet, comes from the small fry for whom Mother is the center of their world. The Brunswick Beacon surveyed some of these Mother's Day pro moters, first graders in Ollic Hickman's class at Union Primary School. "What do you like about your mother?" they were asked. While most immediately offered, "She's nicc!" with a shy smile, they pro ceeded to dig deeper for reasons why Mom is so beloved. Here arc their answers, verbatim: Tara Marie White likes a lot of things about her mother. Colleen White. "She lets me bring my lunch box to school and lets me wear pretty clothes and lets me pick them out sometimes," she said. Tara said they play games together, too. WHrrK _ "I love her," she said, adding, "She lets me have snacks, like candy after dinner." Bryant Anthony Price (he loves his middle name, because it's Dad's name, but that's a Father's Day sto ry), was vocal about his admi ration for his mother, Perita B. Price. "She teaches me about Africans," he promptly re sponded, "and about black peo ple." __ PRICK There was more: "She's sweet; she lets me do things and go places I've never been, to the Washington Monument and Charleston." PADGETT GRAHAM Kelly Padgett is fond of her moth er, Tina Padgett, becausc, "She he's good to mc; she buys me stuff, like toys." Pressed fur ther, Kelly con tinued, "She loves mc. She always says, 'Kelly, 1 love you.' " And a soft-voiced Kelly was quick to say the feeling was mutual. Lindscy Graham's mother, Terry, is generous, like Kelly's. "She gives mc good stuff: can dy and toys," said Lindscy. But that's not all. "She helps mc when I'm sick. She gives mc medicine." Now, how many mothers arc ex tolled for that? Little Tancisha Seward flashes a snaggle-toothed smile a lot as she talks about her mother, Rosa Seward. "She had a baby and it was a boy," she relates proudly. "She always lets mc hold him." The woman she calls Mom my calls her "Swcctic-Pic," it turns out, and Tancisha likes that, too. Matthew Clemmons obviously enjoys being on the go, and his Mama, Teresa Clemmons, is a great mother be cause she makes this possible. "She carries mc shopping sometimes and lets mc play at my friend's house and lets mc go to the park where I can play baseball," he com mented. Then came the big kudo. "She STEWARD CLEMMONS even let me join a team! " Occasionally you find a 6-year okl who is just naturally quiet and not very talkative. There are even boys of this nature and one of them is George Gillette, who has . , .g. j beautiful big eyes, but not | much to say. His mom, J ear i, be yond being "nicc," is valued bccause she takes care of him. GILLETTE "She buys me clothes," George confided. Another clotheshor.se, like George, is Kenneth Gore. who is grateful that his mother, IP Vanessa Gore, as buys clothes for ) - * him. But Kenneth goes on to greater depths. ? " "She wants me to go to GORE school every day. ..and 1 do.. .so I can learn," he reported. Then Kenneth added, "I love my Mama." Pretty Kristi Clemmons speaks affectionately of her Mommy, who is Kim Clemmons. "She reads a story to me sometimes at night," she said. "She lets me sleep with her sometimes, too, CLEMMONS wc p,ay games together." One of the best things this Mommy does is allow her daughter to hold the babies for whom she is babysitting. With no siblings of her own, this is important to Kristi. Nine Brunswick County mothers arc sure to have a happy Mother's Day, whether or not they get a work of crayon art or even a box of chocolates. Any day with these lov ing, appreciative youngsters has got to be a great day!
