According to my kids I'm the most embarrassing mum on this planet.
My latest crime? I set up a solar cooker on the porch roof. There are precious few sunny days that I can use that cooker and I honestly don't care what the neighbours will say.
...Actually, I do care what they would say. What would it be? 'Oh look at that loon Gertie out there saving electricity with her solar cooker' or maybe: 'There goes that crazy Gertie providing sustenance for her family again'
I don't understand where kids get these crazy ideas that everything that parents do is an embarrassment. Next they'll be saying I must not fetch them out of school while dressed like Lady Gaga.
