WHAT THE FRUCK, MOTHERS??!!??

You, REALLY REALLY REALLY need to explain this one to me:

WHY has it become The Thing To Do, to change baby's diaper in the minivan, and then toss the dirty one out onto the parking lot?

It must be THE THING TO DO...... each of the three parking lots I was on yesterday had a FOULED disposable diaper laying within 10 feet of where I parked/walked/stored my cart in the little cart corral.

I can't imagine how many more there must have been, if I could see one at each stop....

The Walmart store;

My first diaper for the day- I parked, got out of my truck, noticed this amorphous, dark,vaguely moving object on the lot surface about 8 feet from my parking space choice. I couldn't figure out what it was....until a swarm of the flies that were covering the surface flew up into the air,(which explained to me why the surface looked to be moving), and exposed the leaky,ruffly edge of the leg opening enough for me to identify the object visually, and by the smell.

I moved my truck to a different lane.

The Dollar General Store;

Diaper number 2, no flies, just an artistic display of the fact that baby's urinary tract is fully functional and that Mommy is saving on diaper money via the "Mileage Strategy".

The Tractor Supply Company Store;

 C'mon!

The TSC parking lot????

One would think that one would be SAFE from trashy diapers in this parking lot of all parking lots.

Real Men shop here.

Now, let's just say, in the interest of tolerance and Being a Good Sport, that these are examples of Performance Art.(If it's called "Performance Art", you can get away with ANYTHING, ((including starving some dog to death in a gallery corner, or sit,naked, on a stool out on the sidewalk while reading Marcel Proust aloud in a the voice of a sweat-bee)), the worst that will happen is that people will look away in embarrassment, AND one can assign points to the "piece".)

Let's critique these Works On Display....

Mother One receives a great number of merits for her work.

Composition was outstanding, utilizing MULTIPLE elements and mixing media, one of those pieces that had a very high,"I was repulsed but yet I could not look away", factor.

The flies made it for me.

This Mom also gets Bonus Points for GUILT recognition...she knew it was wrong, she new it was ugly. She tossed said Masterpiece onto the lot about as far from the storefront as one can get,(and still say you are on the same lot as the store, I always park out there so nobody can say it was me who rammed the OldFolksShoppingDayTour with my pickup truck and it's just possible that my truck,AND that lady's diaper, aren't actually visible on the security camera at this distance. I hate being watched), and I bet she drove away and parked a rather diplomatic distance away from her obje't de art.

Mother Two receives honourary mention for Working With Limited Resources and takes second for style- the diaper was prominently displayed, with a sort of Bourgeois nonchalance, about 8 feet from the square cement refuse bin on the front walk of the store. She also gets some major Sheer BALLZ points for being willing to display baby's bottom, and her arrogance regarding the litter laws, to the general public, as there is NO WAY that somebody didn't see what she was doing. 

 

The Third Diaper...what can I say?

Ultimate prize winner simply for the social and psychologic message being transmitted by this piece; "No one is safe, we are ALL the parents to our children, it IS a Global Village, TSC needs to have a Maternal Needs Aisle, so suck it up, Boys!" is what this project screams to me.

No more hanging about the TSC lot for a whiff of a purely testosterone laden atmosphere for me.........

THANX MOM!!!!!!
