Continuing the Countdown of Funny Misconceptions of Moms and Back to School

Today you will notice that I added a little color to my text. Just to jazz it up, and I have given you two, not one, misconceptions. So enjoy.

#6: Moms like helping you with your homework.

What? I am scared out of my mind. I’m pretty sure that I forgot everything I learned in fifth grade by the time I was in sixth grade.

I have no idea what you are talking about most days.

I don’t really know my 12 times tables.

I read the cliff notes to all your summer reading, and I don’t know how to conjugate anything but I do know that song “conjunction junction what’s your function” if that helps at all.

And please don’t even say the words “new math” to me. What the heck was wrong the old one?

#7: Moms can’t wait to pack your lunch every day until we die.

I hate doing laundry.

Making dinner every night is the bane of my existence, so making your lunch every day for an entire year, in terms of “mom fun,” lies somewhere between brushing plaque off the dogs teeth and scheduling my annual pap smear.

Listen, as a child I hated what my mom packed me for lunch. But, like every kid before me, and every generation to come you will find a kid to trade with…I’m sure someone likes sardines.
