I Always Feel Like Mother of the Year at Disney World
Yes, it's a ton of fun, but the thing I really like most is that I always see some kid who isn't mine doing something far worse than anything mine have done in public. The best moments of all, however, are the ones in which my kids wear an expression of horror as they witness the offending child's behavior. So validating!

"Ellis, I'll spank your ass right here, right now,"
she calmly said through ungritted teeth.
I laughed til I choked on Epcot beer,
til I finally had to turn and see
this mother and her child.
But they were gone.
So I drank on.
Still giggling.
