I get called 'mom' a lot. Of course my boys call me 'mom', but so do a lot of other boys that I do not remember giving birth to. I know there are some pretty fabulous birthing drugs available, but I think at some point I'd remember at least changing a diaper or two.

The boys are all around the same age- early to mid 20's. Some of them are friends of my boys, but lots of them are just guys from work.

Maybe I'm not old enough to let this offend me, or perhaps I'm just not someone who has issues with wanting to hang on to my youth. I like it. I like it when one of my "boys" emails me after I've worked on their site and says, "Thanks Mom". Sometimes they just pop over to my building to come visit 'Mom'. I like having a lot of boys. Funny thing is, I've never had a girl call me 'mom'. I guess I've always been a "boy mom". Not sure if I'd of been a good "girl mom", but hoping to be a great "girl grandma".

::To my REAL boys- when you read this, I do not want to be a grandma anytime in the near future. Thank you. Love, Mom::

What's really fun is walking into a building and having guys representing various ethnic groups call me 'mom'. I like to think it makes people wonder. Especially if someone has seen several different guys greet me this way.

I think I'm 'Mom' to so many guys because I don't let them get away with stuff. When I chastize them, I tell them I'm only shaking my finger at them because I care about them and want them to be successful. I also listen to their dating woes and laugh at their 'boy' humor. One of my clients gets me with the same joke every time. When he calls me on the phone at work he recites his entire title. "This is [guys name], assistant vice president and manager of [guys department], reporting up through [guys division], at [name of our company]. He's done this, oh, a hundred times and I still laugh like an idiot. I really shouldn't egg my kids on like that.

Since Mother's Day is coming up, I'm thinking of cashing in on all this mother love. Maybe next time I get an email that reads, "thanks for taking care of me again Mom" from one of my clients, I'll write back, "You're welcome. Oh, and flowers are ALWAYS appropriate for Mother's Day. Love, Mom".
