The Mommy Montage
We've all done it, not that it's ever effective. Every mother runs through the list of do's & don'ts before taking the kids into the store for the ever-thrilling family shopping trip. It doesn't matter if you're going to the market or the mall, the same warnings apply.
I remember one such montage on the way into Walmart with my brood. My husband, Bryan, was deployed, and we were homeschooling for the first time, which meant it didn't matter what time of day I went, I had to take all of them with me. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see passersby stifling laughs and smiling. Especially the ladies - some with children, some without - almost all had the "been there, done that" look on their faces.
I walked briskly toward the entrance, lugging a car seat with my two-month-old in one hand and the hand of my 18-month-old in the other. Like ducklings in a row, my 6- and 4- year-olds followed along behind. It went something like this:
"There will be no yelling, no pushing, no fighting, no arguing. You will not hit each other, wander off, hide in the clothing racks, or add things to the basket. You will not beg, plead, or barter for goodies. You will stay with me, you will not whine, you will move quickly. There will be no complaining about what we are or aren't getting, and finally, you will remember to use an inside voice."
At this point, I would take a deep breath and pause at the doors.
"Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, ma'am!" they'd exclaim in unison.
Then we would head into the store, where the moment we set foot inside, all memories of the rules are forgotten. So, the next time you catch yourself chanting the Mommy Montage, knowing full well that none of it will be heeded, don't feel bad. Keep in mind that this, too, shall pass. One day it will be you wearing that knowing grin as another Mom utters those oh-so-familiar words!
- Jennifer Hamilton
Muse: To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation. Not intended to solve the world's problems, another person's problems, or to cover topics completely. One does not have to agree with musings to enjoy them, just as one does not have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.
Would you like to earn a $20 Gift Certificate? Send your own muse to [email protected]. If it is selected for publication in the Scrap Girls newsletter, you'll get to have fun shopping!
