That’s my boy, Dwayne. We all call him The Rock. Big fella, strong as an ox. His mama, Ata, she’s somethin’ else. She’s The Rock’s Mom, you know? She raised that boy right. Tough times, we had ’em. But Ata, she never gave up, no sir. She always told Dwayne, “You work hard, you be good to people.” That’s what she said. And look at him now, a big movie star, Dwayne Johnson Mother! But to me, he’s still just Dwayne, my boy.
Ata, she’s a tough cookie. She used to be married to Rocky, Dwayne’s daddy. They had some hard times. Dwayne saw some of it, bless his heart. He was just a boy, 15 years old, when Ata, she was so sad, she tried to… well, you know. It was a dark time. But that boy, he was there for his mama. He is The Rock Dwayne Johnson Mom. That’s what made him strong, I reckon. Makes a mama proud, seein’ her boy do good, especially after all that sadness.
She always be sayin’, if you got a good mom, you got a chance to be a good person. That’s Ata for ya. Always got somethin’ wise to say. She taught him all about bein’ a good person. Dwayne, he listens to his mama. Smart boy. He bought her a house. A big, fancy house! Can you believe it? My boy, buyin’ his mama a house like that. She deserves it, though. After all she’s been through.
Now she’s a movie star’s mama. Can you believe that? She was even in a movie. Something called… Moana? I think that’s it. She’s famous now, just like her boy. But she ain’t changed one bit. Still the same Ata, just with a few more wrinkles and a lot more stories to tell. That’s a good role model, yeah? Dwayne learned all about hard work from his mama.
The Rock, he’s a good boy. He’s a wrestler, you know. Big muscles, throws people around. It’s all for show, though. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s a big softie, really. Just like his mama. She might be tough, but she’s got a heart of gold. They’re good people. He is signed to WWE. That’s where he wrestles. I don’t understand it all, but he seems to enjoy it.
- Ata, she’s proud of her boy.
- Dwayne, he loves his mama.
- They had some tough times, but they made it through.
- Ata taught Dwayne to be a good person.
- Now they’re both famous!
She used to be married to Rocky Johnson. He was a wrestler, too. Tough fella. Dwayne gets his size from him, I reckon. But he gets his heart from his mama. That’s what I always say. Rocky was about tough love. Ata gave a lot of caring. Dwayne got a good mix of that.
I remember when Dwayne was little, he always wanted to be like his daddy. He’d be runnin’ around, pretendin’ to wrestle. Ata, she’d just smile and shake her head. She knew he’d be somethin’ special. She just didn’t know how special.
Dwayne is always working. Busy, busy, busy. It’s good. Keeps him out of trouble. Ata taught him that, you know. “Keep your nose to the grindstone,” she’d say. “And stay out of trouble.” He listened to her.
Ata is getting up there in years now. But she still keeps up with Dwayne and all his goings-on. She’s his biggest fan. And he’s hers. He calls her all the time. And she always has time for her Dwayne. She is The Rock’s Mom. Ata Johnson is Dwayne’s mom. She made him the man he is today. She always says, “If you got a good mom, you got a chance.”
Dwayne, he’s a good son. He takes care of his mama. Makes sure she has everything she needs. He never forgets where he came from. And he never forgets who helped him get there. Ata did good. She raised a good boy. And that’s all a mother can ask for, ain’t it?
I remember one time, Dwayne bought his mama a new car. A fancy one, with all the bells and whistles. Ata, she just laughed. She said she didn’t need a fancy car. But she drove it anyway, just to make Dwayne happy. That’s the kind of mama she is. Always puttin’ her boy first.
Now, Dwayne is a big star. But he still calls his mama every day. He never forgets her birthday. He never forgets Mother’s Day. A good son remembers those things. Dwayne is a good one. Ata made him like that. Yeah, Tamina Snuka, she knows The Rock’s mom, too. They all know how good Ata is. If you have a good mom, she will give you everything. Just like Ata. She is the best mom in the world, I think.
