🎉 Spirit Week Shenanigans: The School Moms Are at It Again
- Scott wonders if Spirit Week themes are crafted by moms who have way too much time and way too little sense. (Looking at you, PTA warriors.)
- Crazy Hair Day or Pajama Day? Nah. Let’s give our kids perms to look like their principal at 6:30 a.m. Because that’s sane.
- Sadie’s sleep-deprived, overachieving mom moment? She actually did it. Permed her kid to fit in. How did we get here?
🏆 Suburban Parenting Competitions: Survival of the Fakest
- Sadie’s neighborhood is like a reality show where moms battle for the title of Most Dedicated Parent.
- Scott’s convinced these competitive parents have secret Pinterest boards labeled “How to Make Other Moms Feel Inferior.”
- It’s not parenting—it’s warfare with crafts, costumes, and overpriced cups.
💰 Lottery Ticket Fiasco: How to Lose $25 Million Like a Pro
- A 76-year-old woman in Pennsylvania somehow managed to donate her $25 million winning lottery ticket.
- Scott’s mind is blown—if he won the lottery, he’d basically live at the lottery office until they handed him a check.
- Lesson: Don’t treat millions like loose change. Or your ticket like a Kleenex.
👟 Grandpa Fashion Trends: Why Are We Doing This?
- The latest fashion monstrosity: $250 orthopedic-looking sneakers for men. Because your feet should suffer in style.
- Scott’s all for comfort, but paying luxury prices to look like your feet hurt? Pass.
- Can we just bring back normal shoes, or is the grandpa aesthetic here to stay?
🪑 Weekend Warrior Plans: Sports and Reclining Thrones
- Sadie’s facing a weekend marathon of volleyball and soccer games.
- Her secret weapon? A folding chair that reclines, basically a throne for suburban sports spectators.
- Scott is impressed. If there’s a prize for “Most Prepared Sideline Parent,” Sadie’s taking the gold.
💡 Key Takeaways
✔ Parenting is now competitive sports. Good luck if you’re not caffeinated and over-prepared.
✔ Keep your lottery tickets safe. Or your millions will end up in the Salvation Army bin.
✔ Grandpa shoes are overpriced nightmares. Comfort shouldn’t cost you your dignity.
✔ Weekend games need proper seating. Sadie’s got this covered.
