Mom's Personality Card

Here is yet another post in my series on the Precious Places personality cards.  Today's featured figure... Mom at Work.

And here is what the card says:

Mom at Work
Meet Mom! She loves to be outside and exercise. She likes to garden and rides her bike everywhere. She's also a great cook and makes lots of different meals with food from her garden. In the summer, we have fresh fruits and vegetables like strawberries, corn on the cob, and tomatoes. Sometimes she makes us our favorite lunch - peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After school Mom takes us to the park and we play on the swings with all our friends from the village.
Birthday: January 10
Favorite Dessert: Fudge brownies with chocolate chips.

I think Mom sounds like a genuine Martha Stewart.  The only thing I'm not clear on is who 'we' is referring to.  Who is writing the personality card?  Her kids?  Exactly which kids from the village are hers?  All of them??!?! Or maybe the owner of the Country Kitchen Cottage claims a few?

We may never know.

Poor "Mom at Work"

Does anyone else feel sorry for "Mom at Work"? Not only is she perpetually stuck vacuuming everything in sight, but she doesn't even get to have different colored accessories like every other Precious Places figure. Rollerskating Sara gets a pink wagon and an aqua wagon, Jenny on her Trike gets to decide between riding her white trike and pink trike. But not Mom at Work... nope, she just pushes around the same pink vacuum all day long. Poor Mom at Work.
