Puddle

Snowy Saturdays need a bit of wholesome charm. This comes from one of my favorite gruntled sites, It Made My Day:

All the Mom’s were forcing their kids around the big puddle in front of the playground. One mom led her son right into the middle and they both started jumping up and down and splashing each other. IMMD

that's just weird...creepy, actually-a bit. the mom sounds like maybe she's bipolar and in a manic phase, maybe.

i certainly used to play in the rain and mud when i was a kid; but ONLY because i knew a nice hot bath was immediately available 50 yards away.

and splashing in a puddle w/mom? no way...

Sounds like a helicopter mom. Thinks the kid can't be a child without her help. Should have told him NOT to go near the puddle. Would have been more fun for him that way. Forbidden fruit and all. I am sure she meant well, probably her first born though. We always mess them up the most.

I think she is playing with her kid. That seems wholesome to me.
