You know, I am a pretty fantastic mother.
And I'm not just saying that. I'm basing my superior status on empirical evidence.
Let's examine the facts:
1. I have three children.
2. None of them have died.
Right there, I am way ahead of most mothers in history. I don't think 5% of mothers could claim those accomplishments a century ago, which I think had less to do with dysentery and cholera and more to do with poor mothering skills.
But there's more. Oh yes, there's more.
3. I love to enrich my children's minds with copious amounts of PBS Kids "Curious George" and, thanks to Netflix "watch instantly", a healthy dose of WOW WOW WUBBZY: WUBBZY'S BIG MOVIE. I think that letting them watch androgynous creatures that speak with various accents and have no relationship to reality helps prepare them for the real world, with a special emphasis on doing anything you want and getting away with it.
4. The worst swear word my kids have come up with, so far, is "poop." So that's good.
So there you have it. I am a fantastic mother.
Hope you are feeling as confident and assured of your place in the future Hallmark Hall of Fame "Special Mothers" made-for-tv movie as I am today.
Happy Mothering.
I love reading your posts- I always laugh... at least when I'm supposed to. And I must say, I've never heard such a perfect synopsis of Wow Wow Wubzy... (not that I've really ever pondered it that much) but you hit the nail on the head! Loves to you!
ReplyDeleteI must be a good mother too. You can always make me laugh, thanks Becca!
