Bad Mom

Did you hear the one about the mom who had a bookworm kid who just wanted to sit home all summer and read? So the mom enrolled the kid in fascist educational nature camp requiring a butt-load of camping gear every day and an environmentally friendly lunch and a rigorous application of bug spray and sunscreen applied in accordance with nature camp guiding principles.

And on the day of the camp's forced march expedition through the woods (requiring extra gear and food and water bottles to be carried by the tiny children) the poor child asked to be kept home, but NO, mom thought it would be a good idea to go through with the whole camp experience.

And while the kid was hiking through the woods she stepped on a yellow jacket nest and got stung five times and seven other kids got stung too and all the moms in the Quirky Mill Town are talking about it, even the ones who had the presence of mind not to register their kids in nature camp. And the poor counselors needed valium to get over the adrenolin rush of wondering which kid would go into anaphylaxis.

Boy, that is one bad mom.

Baaa-aaaah!!! Sounds like something that would happen to me!! I haven't heard about it yet so don't worry, it's not ALL over the quirky mill town. I'll be waiting though, and when I hear, boy will I let them know how I feel about this irresponsible mother!!! ;)
