A MOTHER’S DICTIONARY


The mothers have their own world, which is really special in the sense that it is filled with various feelings and emotions like love, care, tenderness and even worry about their kids. In their special world the mothers have their own dictionary also, which may appear a little odd to others but mothers from each corner of the world are capable of not only understanding as but at the same time also using the words contained in that special dictionary.
