Overheard at the playground this morning:
Mom 1: You're a shining example. A single mom, with two kids, and no job, yet your kids are still dressed to the nines.
Mom 2: It isn't easy, but I do try to dress them really well. Nordstrom, Baby Gap, you know.
Mom 1: You do a great job of it.
Me (in my head): what does that make me? I'm a married mom, with two kids and a great job. Even so, my kids' wardrobes are about 75% thrifted. Right, that makes me smart.

Fezzik Chronicles
- At 4 years, running outside to pee on the cat. Why? "Well, it's like this: I've always wanted to pee on a cat."
- At 3 years, telling me "I'm going to call the mayor and tell him you're a crazy driver. He's going to kick us out of town."
- At 2 years, calling down the hall "Daddy! I need help!" "What do you need, kiddo?" "I...NEED...HELP!"
- At 2 years, handing me my bra and saying "Hi Mommy. Here's your boobies!"

Yeah, a shining example of unnecessary consumerism!
Oh, I'm sorry, was that rude? I'd be more impressed to find out she limited tv and read to her kids everyday, actually
Or fed them vegetables every now and then.
Or had them all ride to school together on a giant bicycle...
