If one were to draw the caricature of a mom, I imagine it to look like a cross between Wonder Woman--constantly deflecting problems and challenges with her arm bands of gold. Lassooing people causing the family strife and sequestering them in an off-shore establishment---and Mary Poppins---providing giggles and fun while galloping on carousel horses and singing about the nonsense of the world while rooms magically clean themselves.
The following are the problems I deflected with my arm bands this week, while singing:
1. 10 year old spelling challenges: he now has to write out (grammatically correct) whatever he wants to tell or ask us. BAM!
2. Meals prepped in advance. BAM!
3. Vacuuming in the "igloo," while raising "Coco" our daughter's Arctic Fox alter ego. BAM!
4. Creating a Thing 1 Costume for school play. BAM!
5. Loads of laundry beyond comprehension due to an outbreak of diarreaha in our youngest child. BAM!
6. Invented a solution to curb constant poop laundry. BAM!
Which brings me to this...So, yes, your son is wearing a Maxi-Pad. He believes it is a specially designed strip of "diaper" for "Poop Splats." Unless you want to do laundry, don't crush the dream. BAM!
