The Wise (*Young*) Mommy: Everyone's a Critic

Musings and discussion about the world we live in today through the eyes of a young, hip (crazy) work-at-home writer, mother and wife. Motherhood, womanhood, sex, current events, issues, hot topics, and sex toys are just a few topics I cover. If a mommy thinks it, does it or needs it, you will probably find me pondering it here! Top it all off with a dash of humor and a splash of humility, and you have a fun, interesting blog. Laugh (at) and relate to The Wise (*Young*) Mommy!

I am also writing a book on motherhood and sex called Sex and The Suburbs and you can check out my blog for the book here.

Everyone's a Critic

I fancy myself a pretty good singer. I'm not "American Idol Top 12" good, but I can carry a tune.

Well, while driving in the car today, I sang my daughter a beautiful version of "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae (since it was stuck in my head from last night's American Idol). When I was done my 2 1/2-year-old daughter took her thumb out of her mouth, looked at me in the rear-view mirror and said:

"Thank you Mommy."

I smiled. "Aw, for singing you a song?"

She shook her head fervently. "No, for stopping."

My face fell and I might have even pouted a little.

Tough crowd.
