Episode 8: The Universe Has Got a Wicked Sense of Humor

Mean girls.

Sometimes they don't magically disappear after adolescence. Tricia Sterns tells a story about dealing with the grown-up variety, while her daughter is dealing with a whole middle-school mean girl army. It's witty, poignant, and lovely.

Also, one heroic listener tells us about the time she had to call TWELVE parents to let them know their families likely had a brand-new parasite. Fun times! And Kate and Alison talk about the moment you move from being your boyfriend's kid's friend, to her step-parent. And-! the Girl Scout sash of parenting skills!

Wanted: Your Parental Moments of Glory!

Have a recent moment of parental hilarity, utter defeat or astonishing insight? Leave a message at 678-379-3748, and we might read it at the next show! (Keep 'em to about a minute or less.)

Examples:
My kid will only wear the same Steelers t-shirt to school every day, so every night, I wash it and lay it out. I think his teacher suspects this is actually the only shirt he owns.

My baby pooped in the bathtub, and while I was getting the cleaning supplies while also wrangling my 2-year-old, the dog ate it. This is maybe the most grateful I've ever been for our dog, while simultaneously completely grossed out and disturbed.

Rock on! You might hear your moment, cheered on by a crowd of people who get it...at the next live show.
