Do you ever have one of those moments when you just feel
like you’ve failed as a parent? Well, if
not, then just shut up because I don’t think I want you as my friend. Because I seriously have one of those ‘moments’
at least a couple of times a day.
Like
that time when I forgot to buy milk? For
3 straight days? Here kids, have another
Flintstone vitamin.
Other times, it is that moment when your kid points directly
at someone, and says, “Oh, look! Hoboes!”
Now, I know what you’re thinking... how politically
incorrect of my seven year old. The term
‘homeless’ is acceptable. Yes. ‘Down
on their luck’… um, okay. But ‘hoboes’??
Strangely enough, though, she was pointing at a pair of teenage
boys in Target, who, while having some seriously scruffy hair, didn’t have
anything else about them that looked even slightly ‘hobo-ish’.
But then I happened to notice that one of them had a picture
of a cartoon tiger on his t-shirt.
