I’m going to go out on a limb here to state the obvious – I’m not a perfect mom. I will never win “Mom of the Year” awards for the ability to bounce a quarter off of one’s bed because of an awesome triple-folded tuck of the sheets. Though, I’m pretty sure I could win an award based on my knowledge of “Big Brother” or “The Real Housewives of what ever county is on…..” but when it comes to ACTUAL strict parenting in the Summer? For-get-about-it!
Instead of reading a story about Barbie to the chicklets while tucking them into bed? Odds are pretty good I’m letting my girls use to my cell phone to create pictures of them and their best-friend, Barbie. Man o’ Man has Barbie taught them quite a bit about image placement and design. It’s an education of sorts, right?
Quite honestly, I don’t think they’ll be scared by such antics especially when school is starting in less than four weeks. At that time, I’ll have to go back to being a mean mom. You know, making them bathe, go to sleep on time and discard all electronic devices before take off.
Until then, next on the agenda will be creating videos with featuring, Barbie. In the dark with a flashlight.
