Part-time Substitute Kindergarten Teacher, Chittick School, Boston
Public Schools – Mattapan
Mumma went to work many days for extra
dollars during the 13 years the four u no hoos were in college and the
Marine Corps. But if it was raining or snowing, Mumma stayed home, even
if called to come in, to make sure everything was good on the home
front, and so she didn’t have to get her hair wet or drive down two
miles in bad weather.
1964–1996

phone, and let most people know that big u no hoo was not home. Picture
Taker to save family memories of how all the work, sweat, and tears was
worth every dirty diaper except for four, need I identify those four
specifically…
1996–1999
Wedding Arranger, Beautiful Mother of the Brides, Trainer And Model
for New Mummas. Wait a minute! Weren’t we just changing diapers and
teaching #2 and #3 little u no hoos to say MUMMA and to be good MUMMAS
someday by doing all of the jobs in this resume?! Where did those
little u no hoos go? Now they are big u no hoos having little u no hoos
themselves. I knew all this work was worth it. Now we have more little
u no hoos to hug and kiss and love and hold and help to grow into big u
no hoos just like the first set of little u no hoos did!
1999–Date
Mumma got a second job – Now she is also a GAMMY. Because she has
so much love and wisdom to give to little u no hoos, MUMMA became a
GAMMY to four brand new little u no hoos and continues to love and care
for them as much as she can. It is no wonder why all the little and big
u no hoos love Mumma and now Gammy even more. By the way, Mumma is the
most beautiful Gammy in the world, and she is in the top four (I had a
Mumma {‘Ma’} too, you know…) for beautiful Mummas. Throughout our lives
Mumma has given to all of us unconditional love nurturing, and
acceptance. She has earned that most special place in our hearts
reserved only for a Mumma and a Gammy. She has achieved the greatest of
success in her chosen field of endeavor: to be a good Mumma and a good
Gammy. U no hoo recommends her without reservation!
Special Note:
Naturally, Mumma has no need for a resume. I love my Mumma so
much! For more than sixty years, everyone has known how great Mumma is,
especially Dad, us kids, and now the four grandkids; her references are
simply everyone she’s met since 1940. Mumma was born at a time when a
movie cost a nickel, and there was a lady on the dime. Whole families
lived on $30 or $40 per week. No company, no matter how large or well
funded, has a position which might spark Mumma’s interest; there is no
possible offer they could make to take Mumma away from her current
position. Of course, Dad helped Mumma write this resume because he’s
wicked good at the computer… |
