Text: "Mommy Does Nothing" with Interpretation

TEXT: MOM DOES NOTHING
(Unknown author)

Once upon a time there was a woman who lost her registration name, or rather, she replaced it with a much-used one: that of Mother. As a mother, she became essentially a boring person. The greatest collector in the parish: do this, do that...
The clock rings. The battle begins.
– Let's wake up guys!
He runs to turn on the water for the coffee. Milk too (when there is one).
– Come on, kids, put on your uniform.
The father is already in the bath.
- Fast. He has class.
Strain the coffee, serve the table.
- Let's go guys. Look at the time. Eat all the bread. Brush your teeth.
He changed his clothes, cleared the table, cleaned the breakfast dishes. He made the beds. He swept the house. He dusted the furniture. The greengrocer arrived. Shopping done, he runs to the butcher shop. He takes advantage of the exit and passes by the bank and pays the water and electricity bills.
She runs back. He makes lunch. He looks at his watch. It's time for the husband and children to arrive.

They arrived. Serve lunch.
– Boy, don't pinch your sister!
The father asks him to wash his overalls. He says that today the work has improved a little, but it is to take care of expenses. Brief rest and return to service.
The mother washes the lunch dishes. The daughter dries the dishes and the son the cutlery and heads out into the backyard. The dog appears with neatly trimmed tail hairs.
- This boy! That's why he took the scissors…
– Children, do your homework.
– Yes, of course, get figures for the Geography assignment. Sew the boy's trouser hem. Sewing button on girl's blouse.
– Mom, tomorrow is the teacher's birthday. I have to bring a cake.
There, the cake is in the oven. While roasting, wash the overalls.
– Let's go to the dentist. Be careful crossing the street.
They pass by the bakery. Return home.
– Take a shower!
Arrange for dinner.
– Don't like eggs? Must eat. It's good for your health. Be quiet. Let the father watch the news in peace. He is tired. Worked all day.
– Go to the bath! Have you already packed the material for tomorrow's class?
What a bunch! Ever since we got home from the dentist, I've been telling them to go take a shower.
All lying down. Full house check. Leave table set for morning coffee.
Why, see! The boy forgot to keep the notebook.
Opened it. He took a look at the lesson. He filled a page with personal data: his full name, date of birth, location, and also family data. Father's profession: mechanic. Mother's profession: she doesn't do anything, she just stays at home...
