High school redux...

I have to deal with a lot of parents because my boys are in school. It's like high school... The clique-y little groups, the gossip, the drama... Oy Vey! I thought we had outgrown that... I guess not.
I don't fit in with the forty something moms whose youngest is in my kids' classes and I don't fit in with the twenty-somes either... And just like high school, I sit on the outskirts, where I like to be. It's not that I'm an antisocial creature per se. I'll talk to people, I can carry on a conversation, I can be polite, I can string together enough words to put together a complete sentence. I can even do it without using shit, piss, cunt, fuck, cock-sucker, mother-fucker and tits! But I'd much rather not have to be sucked into high school redux. I'd much rather  watch the drama from over here... They be hatin' anyway...
But in the meantime though, most of the kids think I'm a pretty cool shit (with the exception of my kids who think I'm an uber-dork... Which is good because it means I'm doing my job as their mom... Well...) and that's cool. They're more fun and easier to talk to anyway. No drama, no gossip. They haven't been "ruined" yet.
