The Cool Factor

Have I lost my coolness?  I always wanted to be that mom that everyone liked to be around, the house where everyone gathered, the mom that all the kids hang around at the school meeting.

Alas, I guess this is not to be!  McKenna had a literacy bingo night last night at her school.  We got our food and went to sit down.  McKenna took a quick glance towards me....and ushered her friends to another table!  WHAT?!  You DON'T want to be near me?!  But I'm dressed normal.  I have sparkly fashionable shoes, I say funny things.  WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, MCKENNA?!  I look at her, shocked, and she mouths the word "no" to me. 

So I do what any normal mother would do.  I text her and say, "But I'm a cool mom."  She laughs, shows her friends (who laugh, too) and they all turn around and acknowledge me.  Thank goodness....I'm not completely horrifying to my girl yet!
