Really, what’s better to keep a sick kid occupied: 1. put her in front of the TV with a box of Kleenex, or 2. bring her to Krispy Kreme and ply her with red-and-white sprinkled Donuts?

The answer: OMFG, what kind of parent are you? NEITHER!

Eh, screw it. I don’t know about YOU, but I parent in the real world. I don’t fart daisies and spread sunshine ALL THE TIME. Sometimes, I’m a cookie-giving, put-em-in-front-of-a-movie, darting-off-to-check-the-email kind of mom.

I went to Krispy Kreme with the younger child, whom I’m renaming “snot geyser,” and took some pictures while she played with her friend and they sucked all the sprinkles off their donuts . I tried to enjoy a mocha latte that tasted like it was flavored with rancid fat (add sugar to it–it’s potable!), and I caught up on some bitching-about-the-preschool with my numero uno mommy friend.

Her younger son is teh cutest thing evah. Well, next to my li’l red-headed Snot Geyser, that is.
