If you read mommy blogs, you may have seen one of the funniest parenting posts ever this week on The Suburban Jungle. This post by blogger Jenny Isenman made me laugh as I read through every one of the 35 reasons a mom might give for being late.
Read on for Jenny's ideas, and then share your own! We want to make a Smart Apps community list of reasons why readers are late. I know I have personally experienced #3 at least fifty times, and isn't #4 an everyday experiene for all kids no longer in carseats?
Sorry I’m late but …
1. My daughter’s socks hurt, or as she put it, her socks “hate her.”
2. All of a sudden, none of their shoes seemed to have a mate. NONE.
3. I couldn’t find my keys … they were in my pocket.
4. My kids were fighting over who got to sit in which seat.
5. My daughter’s fingernail was itchy.
6. My son decided to wrestle with the dog rather than simply walk out the door, so we had to roll off the fur, but I couldn’t find the lint roller, so I had to fashion one from masking tape and MacGyver it off.
7. Both my children had to make a last-minute poop.
8. It seemed like a good time for one of them to ask where babies come from.
9. There was a wardrobe malfunction that led to wet underwear and a much-needed last-minute bath.
10. My son skinned his knee walking to the car.
