Word to the Wise

Big kid was keeping me company on the soccer field today while lil brother did his thing. And out of nowhere big kid says to me, "Mom, you're not a 'holla back girl'. You're a holla AT girl!" And this was said with a healthy dose of respect.

And for the record-I totally agree with his assessment. Stupidity always precipitates hollering. Just a law of nature. Which means that hollering is just part of the mom job description. Just like driving while slapping kids in the back seat. Very important skills that we moms have to hone to keep the world on an even keel.

Frankly-I wouldn't give you 2 cents for a kid who hasn't been hollered at or slapped a few times in his lifetime by his mama. Just worthless I tell you...
