Mom, I Choose You!

“Hey. Do you know why I chose you, mom?”

Children look down and choose their moms from the skies above.

“I choose that mom!”

 All the other children look surprised. 

“Really? Are you sure she’s the one?”

“Yes! I want that mom!”

At that point, the interaction and love between mother and child begins.

One day, a child told their angry mother a secret that made her cry.

What did the child say?

From the Afterword by Nobumi, the author:

“I met with children who remember their time in the womb.

When asked why they were born, most children answered, ‘To make mom a happier person, of course!’

“Children want to make their mothers happy and have the strength to make others happy as well. However, some mothers rely on scolding their children when trying to raise them as well as possible. Children want to make their moms happy, not to be scolded. Once their moms are happy, children can work on making others happy too. The more we try to make others happy, the better our world becomes. Bettering our world relies on how happy our mothers are.”

Nobumi created this book after speaking with over 100 children who remember their time in their mother’s womb. Asking the children why they chose their birth mother brought mostly the same response: “I wanted her to be happy.” There are many things about our world that we don’t fully know or understand. I hope more people will live happily after understanding more about the rules of the unknown.
