Mom of the Year Interview

Interviewer:  Looks like a Walmart, is that where you went?
Me: Yep, we are at Walmart.
Interviewer:  What's Tyson wearing? 
Me:  Well, those are his pajamas...he didn't even get dressed today.
Interviewer:  What's wrong with his shirt? 
Me:  It's kind of on backwards....and inside out.
Interviewer:  Has he been eating something chocolatey? 
Me:  Why yes, chocolate pudding...how did you guess?
Interviewer:  It may be the chocolate stains on his back, or the chocolate covered face that gave it away..not sure.  Anyway, how did you get to the store with him in that condition? 
Me:  To be honest, I didn't even take a good look at him before we left...he always looks cute so I didn't worry.
Interviewer:  Really?  You didn't even check your kid? 
Me:  Well, if we are being completely truthful, he is kid number four AND the baby of the family.  I was just glad he was wearing pants. (we've done Walmart in underwear before)
Interviewer:  Did you notice any reactions of other shoppers?
Me:  Of course I did...many of them stared, but I assume it is because Tyson is so completely adorable.
Interviewer:  Has anyone ever told you that you may be in denial?
Me:  Yes, but I deny that I'm in denial.
Interviewer:  What did your husband say?
Me:  Well, I messaged him this picture and he sent back "That's my boy!" with a smiley face.
Interviewer:  Proud Daddy huh?  Hmmmm.  So this is a regular thing?
Me:  Only for Tyson...I make sure my older children are always wearing pants at Walmart.
Interviewer:  Have you heard of the website "People of Walmart" and do you expect to see Tyson's picture on it?
Me:  Well, if it is, he can only improve the site.  *whispering* Have you seen some of those people?!?!?!?!?
Interviewer:  Okaaaaay.  Well, congrats on getting Mom of the Year!
Me:  Why thank you. I am pretty awesome.

At least that's how it went in my head as I tried to slink around Walmart avoiding as many shoppers as possible.  :)
