Parenting Awards

Let's face it there is no Emmy Awards Show for parenting... It's a thankless job.  For a little over 2 years I have tried to do a great job as a parent but not once have I been stopped on the street and given money or a trophy...  However, recently a women stopped me on the street and reprimanded me for having my daughter in the sun.  

Don't you know your daughter is in the sun?  

So I said I know.  

I am trying to get in the shade.  

And then I gave her the constipated smile.  you know the smile that forces me to smile for societal sake but underneath that there is a whole lot of sh*t that wants to come out.  

I should have said...  

Really lady?  Have you seen how white I am?  I am trying to get to the shade Broomhilda.  Plus unless you are going to help me with your masterful knowledge for the next 17.5 years please don't tease me with your Einstein abilities.  Can I please have your telephone number Alex Trebek because I have no clue what to do when she wakes up at 4 am?  Oh and one more thing can you baby sit Saturday night?

Until tomorrow.
