I'm scary

I learned something about myself today.

Took my kid to an end of summer bash at his school. Kick ass good time with water slides and painting and soap mountains. My kid was having a blast once he realized the water slide wasn't out to hurt him.

Now, in every group of parents there are the ones like me - vultures who watch their child and his every move. Then there are the OTHER parents. The ones who go inside to eat dinner while their kid hurdles down a water slide with no adult supervision. The ones who watch their kid push a little 2 or 3 year old out of their way, shove them down the slide, slide down on top of them and just smile with that little "what can you do" look.

Well, what I learned about myself today is that while I am a good mommy, if your kid lays their hand on MY kid again and pushes him, hurts him or scares him one more time and you aren't willing to do anything about it... your kid might end up on a little detour behind that water slide and he might just trip over my monster sized foot and land in the mud. Just maybe
