Darla shook her head, a small smirk on her lips. “You’re such a mom, ” she told Katherine.Katherine stared at her, puzzled. “You’re a mom, too, ” she said softly.“ No, I gave birth. That doesn’t make me a mom. Not like you.” A look passed between the two women like none they had ever shared before. For a split second, Katherine felt a slight connection. “Well, you rest. I’ll check on you later.” She turned and left the room, a funny, unexplainable feeling inside her. Deanna Lynn Sletten
About This Quote

This saying has many different interpretations. It is most often said in the form of a question, "Did you really give birth?" From this point of view it is asking if the speaker actually gave birth or just had some kind of experience with it. If you did give birth, do not consider yourself a mother; you are only an experiencer. However, if you did not give birth, then you are indeed a mom (no pun intended).
