I bring you not one, not two, but five fails from one of the school mums.
One: Allowing a kid that looks to be 1.5-2 years old run around crazily near a busy road where idiots randomly speed despite it being a school zone.
Two: Ignoring him in favour of unlocking your minivan and then fixing your hair in the side mirror. Bonus points for the kissy face at your reflection.
Three: Standing next to your car and watching him execute a near flawless dive-roll over a short lavender bush covered in bees into someone elses's front yard.
Four: Remain next to the minivan while about 4 metres away, your kid is charging around a stranger's front yard, waving a stout stick and running in loops close to both the windows and the aforementioned bee-covered plants.
Five: Finally realising that hey, this might be a bad idea, and so start to ask your child in a wheedling tone to please come and get into the 'van. Huh, that's not working. Change tactics to "Sweetheart, they might have a big dog in their backyard. It might come out and eat you! You better get in the 'van quickly before the big, mean doggy gets you! Quickly! Ohhh that's a stranger's yard and they probably have a big mean dog waiting to get you!"
Nice lady, real nice. I've heard people say that parenting has gone to the dogs, but this most certainly takes the cake.
