Congratulations accepted here!

So lately I have been named by a various assortment of my family (made up of an elect committee of Homework Haters and Piano Practicing Pouters) as the (drum roll please) ..... World's Worst Mother or many of it's other well known titles such as Meanest Mom (MM), Worst Mom Ever (WME) and other honorable titles!
I usually have a great acceptence speech after I win the coveted title! The speech usually includes a sincere "Thank you to the committee" in some form (which seems to anger the committee. Weird.). I really should thank my mother who was also a WWM a few years ago. I learned a lot from her! The speech also includes a "How lucky are you to have me for this role" which sounds a bit uppity to some but really they need to know that receiving this title really is an honor for them as well!
The HH and PPP proceed to tell my how unfortunate all their friends are that "their mothers aren't nearly so mean"! It does make you concerned for all the poor children out there who aren't as lucky as mine!
In conclusion I promise my committee that I will continue to perform to the best of my ability all the duties necessary to make sure I honor the title for as long as necessary and in the case that I am unable to fulfill my duties for some reason (such as a mental collapse) that the Honorable M.D.E. (Meanest Dad Ever) will step us and fulfill my duties!

That is a riot. I can't imagine why your children would think that, but I think it's great that you posted about it. Espeically since they don't read your blog (or do they?) hehehe
