You know those commercials of idyllic life? Where the mom has an impeccably clean home, and beautifully furnished, and her son brings home his friends, and she has a beautiful platter of food for the strapping youngsters rabidly starving after being outside?
That’s not me, ever.
The ROTC kids like to come over after practice twice a week, and they like to take over the kitchen. Drinks, food, snacks, pretty much everything is open season. And the conversations are hilarious. I had no idea a burger could become petrified in the floorboard of a Toyota. I also didn’t know that you can slide into said Toyota like you are a Hazzard Duke with the General Lee. Not because it’s cool, but because the locks are broken.
Like this, but with only two legs.
And right now, they are playing Rockband™ while my ceiling shakes and my eardrums wince.
It’s kinda cool being the hip mom, though. Even if I do wear glasses and yell at them to get off my lawn

Want to embarrass your kids and get weird looks from their friends? (At least if you are a guy) While at the dinner table look at (the kids mom) your wife, and say “Ya know, your mom is hot!!”
Works almost every time!

Oh, Hubby goes a bit further than that, to my utter embarrassment. But sure enough, it works

oh jeez NOT on the table, we eat there!

Plus, if you are the cool mom, you have another way to hear what your kids are up to.

It’s all part of the plan

“I had no idea a burger could become petrified in the floorboard of a Toyota.”
Did you find out how long it takes before petrification actually takes place? Inquiring minds want to know.
June 27th, 2012 at 12:20 AM
In Texas heat, sir, it become petrified in approximately three weeks. Especially because that Toyota happens to be a rolling tin can with a broken AC.
I hope this answer has satiated inquiring minds (:

Another mystery solved. Thanks a million.
BTW, I pity anyone in Texas without AC in their car.

And mother dear, you know you love us :3
June 27th, 2012 at 9:24 AM

But you still have to clean the patio today

No, you don’t, so get your derriere in gear!

When I was a kid on summer break, my pack roamed the neighborhoods like wild dogs. Every day we’d show up at a different “moms” for lunch. Good times. We were the cool pack, and we also had girls in it. No cooties going on, at all.

Best pack of all, isn’t it??
