Mum

Do you have a mum as awesome as mine? Well my mum has great knowledge about sport, and is so competitive that we still have to race down the street to see who’s faster, I mean we already know who’s going to win (me). She has a great sense of humour and is always supportive. Most of the time mum is very organised, and always knows best. It’s wonderful to have a mum like mine.

My mum has a great personality and is always a kind loving person. Did you know she is a black belt in karate, so if she says you better watch out, you better watch out. My mum is a multi talented woman and shines wherever she goes.

My mum’s eyes are bluey greenie just like the glistening water, she always has a spark in her eye that lights up her face. My mum is as tan as milk chocolate slowly melting in the hot air. Her hair is brown with streaks of gold that sways around when she walks. She wears a variety of clothing but loves shorts and dressy shirts. Another thing is that she loves the brand Adidas and wears her sneakers a majority of the week.

You can say she has a great passion for teaching and is very good at it too. My mum has a very well known knowledge of Te reo and likes to join in on other celebrations too. Being a mum of 3 means she is always out and about. Lets keep it between me and you but man she can be embarrassing sometimes, have you seen the way she smooches me on the cheek in front of my friends? And although she does that, it’s a pleasure to have a mum like mine.
