You didn’t really think I’d have the answer, now, did ya?
I can tell you what NOT to do…..
Me: … (walking over to picnic table full of soccer boys with two pizzas and two liters of soda)
Him: Thanks mom!…. (and all start devouring said pizza & soda)
Me: Can I have a sip of your coke please?…
Him: Um No.
Me: Are you kidding? Just a sip!
Him: NO mom. I don’t want your germs!….get your own.
Me: There are no more cups, can I just have a sip??…..
( I’m thinking, I just drove 200 miles to and from a soccer game on a freezing cold afternoon, catered to their care and comfort and stopped at pizza place so they could refuel. The least I can expect is a sip of soda, right? Too much to ask???)
Him: Uh-uh.
Me: You do know that THIS body made the body YOU LIVE IN, right? YOU CAME FROM ME. SO… my germs are your germs, kid. Give me a freak’n sip.
Yeah… so… don’t ever remind them of that if you want to be considered a really awesome totally cool Mom. Especially when they are sitting at the table eating pizza with six other 11 year olds.
Hahahahahahahahah! "Happy Mother's Day, Karen!"
OMG. You didn't! Anyway, I can't believe the little sucker wouldn't give you a sip~~!!
Happy Mother's Day to a cool mom.
Yes, I do remember those days. If you so much as breathed, it embarrassed them. Yes, I don't miss those days either.

When I was a kid, children were to seen and not heard.
When I became a mom, parents were to be seen and not heard. 🙂
Happy Mother's Day, Karen!
kids and kid stories…..this one made me laugh out loud !!
I don't miss those days either.
Happy Mother's Day Karen!
Ah, middle school boys, there's nothing like 'em! LOL!!! Happy Mother's Day!
Stinking kids!!!;>) lol….. oh yeah- Happy Mother's Day to you! xxoo Diana
I agree with Diana, rotten little stinkers from about 11-23…just hold on, there's a good kid in there! Happy Mom's Day, treat yourself to a Coke…
So typical. What I don't understand is why is it alright for them to eat and sip from us, but ask them for a sip or bite and WWIII breaks out. Happy Mother's Day!!!
I am amazed at the different ways that I can embarass my children without even trying. It really intrigues me. Very funny story. Happy Mother's Day! Joni

Okay, this was REALLY funny!
I used to use the old "52 hours of labor" on my son to get him to do anything I wanted. That worked into his early 30s, he turned 40 earlier this year and I still haven't found anything that was as effective as that line.
Happy Totally Awesome Cool Mother's Day!!!!
You're a lot nicer than I; I'd tell him every chance I got AND in front of every friend he had.
Happy Mom's Day and give the lil stinker a head slap for me.
Hope your mother's day was as fun as this was hysterical!:)
KIDS!!! I am still laughing. Please know acording to my standards, they are very normal.
