If you don't show care and love for your children and leave the mothers to take care of all their needs, if they grow up, they will also not consider you.
There's a long tradition - certainly with country, but in all kinds of genres of music - to have humorous lyrics. Certainly with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and, if you look at country, Roger Miller and Jim Stafford.
There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom, that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed.

Caroline: Who knew that, in between bake sales, my mother was Anaïs Nin?
My mother is, my father certainly was. They were kind of the local intelligentsia in the town where I grew up.
My mother's father was Jewish, so she was very conservative. She liked little, pretty music-orchestral-type things.
I wrote Seventh Heaven for my mother who I miss every day
I just never saw my mother in any other room but the kitchen. There were always pots going.
