If upon the request of my children I am currently doing an image search for elephant’s butts does that make me the cool mom or a bad influence?

If your kid was singing “Hey ho let’s go, put me in the bath tub.”
And you were all like “No, no, honey. It’s shoot ‘em in the back now.”
You would feel really stupid after you realized what you had done.
Just like I did.
Especially if you were at Trader Joe’s and all of the crunchy people near you in line heard you do it.

I have just been accused of not giving my son (another) snack so that he won’t have any energy and he will have to take a nap.
Secretly I just wish I was that clever.

Dear Ian,
When you are old enough to read this I will be ready for you to know the secret.
It isn’t that I really have eyes in the back of my head, it is that nothing else sounds like a kid chewing on a Lego.
You will understand when you are a parent.
Love,
Mommy
