-And other
hazards
Everything is the same
But everything is different.
How well I remember that first
morning, lump in throat, when I
departed the school room filled
with short-legged furniture and a
teacher larger than life, leaving
behind one curly-haired “baby”
and a good many memories.
Across the country, countless
mothers have wrestled with the
same experience these past few
days. Suddenly you are no longer
the focus their lives, no longer the
key builder, the main molder of a
young, growing mind. You step
aside, clearing the way for new
influences wrought by teachers,
ideas and the awesome pressure of
peers.
But wait.
You’re still needed, Mom.
“Mom, I promised cupcakes for
the party tomorrow.. .Mom, I have
to have a show and tell. . .Mom!
Did you wash my gym suit?. .
.Mom, I need ten dollars for a field
trip.”
The curls have become a side
shaved punk cut (like rad, dude!)
and the Snoopy bookbag has been
replaced by a nylon duffel sack
filled with size twelve high-topped
sneakers and sweaty gym socks.
It’s the same. But it’s different.
“Mom, we need a chaperone for
our trip to the aquarium (ever try
keep track of ten kids you don’t
know in a strange place filled with
9,000 other fourth graders all
dressed in t-shirts and jeans?)”
“But Mom, I promised you’d
bring in a sheep for my class (do
you know what sheep leave as
remembrances in the back seat of
a car?)”
Hindsight offers such clear
vision. Looking back, those
requests almost seem mild in light
of some turning up with this year’s
opening of classrooms-with the
eldest now in college and the
youngest entering high school.
(Mercy, I suddenly feel old).
“Mom, tuition’s due this week. .
.Mom, I need your computer for
my term paper. . .Mom, coach
says these have to be clean by our
scrimmage tomorrow. ’ ’
And, it is this last which has
become the most terrifying.
No one warned this Mom about
the parental commitment involved
in letting your kid play school
football. The endless running back
and forth to practices I can deal
with. Likewise, the worrying about
bumps, bruises, and breaks, and
the body tackle in the middle of the
kitchen while I’m trying to get
supper on the table.
But nowhere on those permission
papers I signed did it say a single
word about a Mom’s committment
to laundering football uniforms.
In retrospect, supplying cup
cakes to a second-grade class is a
piece of cake compared to washing
nylon football jerseys and pants
which have been rolled, ground,
tackled, passed and kicked into a
sea of mud on a practice field
during a day-long rain.
And in white no less! Obviously
no female had a say in selecting
the colors of these football practice
uniforms. For goodness sake, why
not black, or navy or tie-dyed
Army-camo design? Why white?
In keeping with the school spirit,
I’m studying hard to meet the
challenge. I’ve studied all sorts of
cleaning suggestions, the sides of
detergent boxes, whitener,
brightener and the possibility of
just eating the mud stains away
with a dousing of strong bleach.
Abundant mend spots on the
uniform hints that some
previously-fi astrated football
mother may have already tried
that line of defense in the past.
Nevertheless, I may fail the
football mother test in spite of
doing all the homework.
Coach’ll jprobably make me do
laps around a laundromat.
