20 Things That Will Happen In A World Without Moms

So here’s the scenario.

One random Tuesday, out of nowhere, all mothers decide to take a break and vanish into thin air. They disappear to a lonely planet leaving the entire world motherless. Yeah, we know. Even imagining it freaks you out. But we did this small experiment. We asked kids of different age groups.

“How will a day without mothers’ be?” And what they revealed was a hard-hitting insight. Our mother, who we often take for granted, is such an important pillar holding our life together. Here are some things that might happen if mothers vanish from the face of the earth, just for a day.

  1. Babies will be left with dirty diapers, unfed, wailing non-stop. And yes, shabbily dressed.
  1. The concept of soul-satiating food will come to an end. Without mothers, who will cook those lip smacking delicacies garnished with unconditional love.
  1. The world will be a bunch of boring boys stuck to video games and ego battles.
  1. There will be no one to tell you what a wonderful person you are. And how blessed someone feels to have you in their life. (You might argue dads could say it too. But think again, does anyone say it better than mommy?)
  1. The bed-sheets will not be changed for years.
  1. There will be so much dirty laundry; it could fill the Grand Canyon.
  1. When you reach home after a long day, no one will ask you ‘Have you eaten?’
  1. No one will wipe your tears when you fall and scrape your knee.
  1. No one will give a patient ear to your ongoing rants and emotional outbursts.
  1. No cozy bedtime stories and lullabies. No good night hugs and kisses.
  1. No one will ever eat healthy food. It will all be chips, chocolates and corn flakes.
  1. No one will fix up a quick, yet delicious snack for you in seven minutes straight.
  1. There will be no sentences starting with “Mom, where is my blah blah blah blah…”
  1. No one will be able to decode the crying of babies and find perfect solutions to their problems.
  1. You will never be able to find anything that is lost.
  1. No one will lose sleep worrying on your behalf.
  1. There will be nothing like a happy family. It will be a total chaos.
  1. No lunches will be packed whatsoever.
  1. You will never be reminded to take a leak before hitting the road.
  1. No one will teach you to pray. Even worse, no one will pray for you.

Such a terrifying list! Isn’t it? A world without moms is unimaginable, boring and if you really think about it, impossible. Mothers, all around the world are doing a phenomenal job yet most of their efforts go unnoticed. We take their presence for granted without even realizing it. Every little thing a mom does, day in day out, incessantly, has made this world a better place and us, better people. Not once did she expect a reward. The smile on your face has been her reward. It still is.

This Mother’s Day let your mom know how special she is. Speak your heart out and tell her how she enriches your life.

Here’s to all moms of the world. Without you, our lives have no meanings. You are the blessing that makes everything worth. Forget life, we can’t imagine a day without you. Thank you for being you. And like Meghan O’Rourke rightly says “A mother, after all, is your entry into the world. She is the shell in which you divide and become a life. Waking up in a world without her is like waking up in a world without sky: unimaginable.”
