I'm sure most everyone has seen the Time article "Are you mom enough?"
While the article has raised many questions and started many heated arguments, err...
I mean discussions....I don't think it really asks the questions I feel would qualify for such a title.
Questions that were failed to be asked:
Are you mom enough to listen to "The Fresh Beat Band" soundtrack every.single.time you are in your car for 5 months straight? I'm pretty sure that my CD player has it recognized at this point and could play the tracks without needing the CD.
Are you mom enough to sing along to every.single.song with your toddler every.single.time you drive?
Are you prepared to talk about underwear from sun-up to sun down, with topics ranging from- The history of underwear, the advantages to underwear wearing, the merits of a diaper free lifestyle and why it's inappropriate to ask friends daddies if they have Woody (from Toy Story) in their pants?
What about watching the same episode of Umizoomi for 3-4 hours a day every single day for 2 weeks? You must act surprised every single time you watch the episode and pretend like you don't know what's coming next. It must be as genuine as possible. The Dictator can detect sarcasm a mile away.
Or making a grilled cheese sandwich every single day using the same "Grilled cheese pan" (God forbid I use a different pan! All hell breaks loose!), farm cheese (The Dictator refers to cheddar as farm cheese. We don't know why), and "softy bread" (white bread)? Oh, and make sure you cut those crusts off!
How about letting your daughter give you a 'makeover' including hair and full make-up and then leaving the house that way? (She actually didn't do a bad job, but it *could* have gone poorly)
Are you willing to sing Elmo's Song in a very public place when your toddler gets hurt because it's the only thing that calms her down? You must sing the song using the "Elmo voice" and make sure to be over-dramatic with hand gestures and silly faces.
That my friends, is love. <3
