The Laziest Mom at McDonald's

Okay, so I'm at McDonald's and there's a couple other Moms there and a few of them are chatting loud enough for the whole room to hear so it's not like I was eavesdropping. One of the moms had two kids ages 2 and 3 and she talked about the following things like she was bragging. Here's how I know that she was the laziest mom at McDonald's:
  • Her children had been wearing the same size diapers until just recently when her son was potty trained. Yes, they were too small on one and too big on the other, but she didn't have to worry about matching the right one with the right kid because they were all the same size.
  • They also wore the same size socks. She only bought one kind of sock so that she could match them easily. Yes, one was a boy and the other a girl, and again, they wore different sizes, but she didn't have to spend so much time matching the right socks after doing the laundry.

While I admire her efficiency, come on! I think that's going a bit overboard. She also said one other thing that made me have to hide my laughter. She had taken her daughter to the eye doctor because she had been running into doors and walls and stuff. The eye doctor told her that her eyesight was perfectly fine, but had she ever thought of giving her daughter a haircut?

Ha ha ha! That's awesome! There is efficiency, and there is laziness! Of course, maybe if that Mom gave her little girl a haircut it would be a buzzcut, cuz it's easier to wash/comb/style. Let's cut that cute little girl's self-esteem right to the floor before she even knows what's going on!! :)

BTW I love your family pictures! I think Elizabeth and Catherine look so different from each other. How do you get such beautiful little girls? And of course my gorgeous sister and handsome bro-in-law look so cute together!!

Great picture upgrade. Catherine is way cute. Elizabeth is cute, and has a great little personality. Way to go Mom and Dad!!

Obviously with such great parents, you can't be called the "Lazy Mom at McDonalds"
