moms not allowed

Parties, parties, parties

they fill our weekends

and we love it.

What I don't love

my 7 year old telling me

"mom, you don't have to stay".

Are you kidding me?

I'm not leaving you by yourself

you're 7 years old!

I'll leave you "alone"

to "look cool" w/your friends

but Keller and I are staying.

I'll be {close by} in the game area

just in case you need me

which I'm sure you won't.

And you didn't

not even once

sniff, sniff

Thank goodness I still have one
who wants and needs
his mommy to stay and play.

Because these hands

don't need to hold mine

at parties anymore.
