Being a mother is very hard (and being a father, too; nobody is exempt). You spend the day washing and ironing and in the end you wind up with overly developed arms like Popeye. When I sit to talk to my friends about movies or television, and someone asks what my favorite program is, I say, "The delicate cycle."
