Mom Of The Year

You know you're not going to win any parenting contests when...

1. A random commercial flashes on TV and your child starts singing "Nationwide is on your side" 20 or so seconds before the actual commercial sings it. (Too much TV time anyone?)

2. You ask your child to walk 20 steps to the fridge to get you a cold soda and he looks you straight in the eyes and says "Mommy, I really feel like you are taking advantage of me"--maybe not so horrible if your child is 12 or 16, but mine just turned 5 today and told me this last week.

3. You drop your credit card in a fishy smelling mall fountain and you actually try to use your kid as a fishing pole to get it out.

Come on, you know you have some too...share!

How about getting the move of the year award when you pay your kids allowance in store coupons?
