Sponge Bob
The Analog Of The Urban Soccer Mom
There is nothing like the vivacious vibe of the urban rebel I see on the freeways of Los Angeles every day. I see him looking so cool and hip. I wonder where he is going. He is most likely a great guy with a killer job in the entertainment industry, maybe the writer of the next big hit.
It’s really cool when I see them on the freeway. Of course they are wearing a helmet because they are cool and don’t play games with their lives. They are going down the open road with their laptop computer bags flapping in the wind in a cool designer color or some soft leather or canvas.
I see him for a moment but for a long enough time to see design tattoos on his open chest and another on the back of his hand. He is off like a light as I am stalled in traffic and I wonder for a moment what it would be like to have his life and not mine.
I picture myself if I could live this life because boy I would want to. To jump on the back a classic motorcycle and run off into the sunset with a professional rebel. But alas when the picture comes to my head I see myself more in the carpool lane on a Yamaha ATV.
Yes, that is the plight of the soccer mom. And that is what I am. I ride the open road in a mini van and the only tattoo I have is a parrot from a cereal box. I am normal, average and everyday.
And I am not alone. Out there on the open road I see a dozens of me driving the same range to and from school, the market and the dry cleaners. We are bold in our outerwear of practical denim and our bags of steel that can hold up to twenty snacks for any emergency.
Yes we are the fearless mothers of urban America who can bargain with coupons and haggle over extra texting charges. We are trained to wait for hours in our car and know every song of Miley Cyrus. We wait in vigil until our one day of the years we are acknowledge nationally, you call it Mother’s Day, we call it Victory Day. We know our goals, to effective raise children who won’t be annoying to others. We carry ourselves proudly knowing we are doing an important task.
So hats off to you the rebel man who passes me on the freeway of life every day. And secretly I know you are winking at me because you have a mother as well who supported you. In that little wink you say thank you for me being there for my kids. And while he passes me he is thankful he is not in the car with me listening to Teletubbies.
