The Cool Mom

I made a new friend in my beading class.

The other day, she told me, "You're a cool mama, aren't you?"

I flushed with apparent pleasure. "Sure am, babe," I answered her coolly, with a laugh.

"I thought most women would become, like, aunties, after they have children. But you're really very cool. You don't seem like a Mom," she enthused. "You're cool! I never would've guessed!"

She had no idea how she was inflating my ego. It was threatening to burst out from the back of my eyes.

"Definitely, babe. I'm a cool mama. Thank you." 

And I'd like to think that someday, my little girl will think I'm a cool mama too.
