Cool Kids, Hot Mama
Have you ever taken your kids to the park and realized too late that it was too damn hot to be there? When you let the kids out of the car, and they’re fully loaded to play, you have to just go with it until water is pooling in places you wish it wouldn’t. While you wait, applying pressure alternatively to each butt cheek on the metal bench, you realize that it would be better to snap a few pictures instead of passively frying yourself as you watch them. After a few shots, you realize that the bribe of ice cream is enough to coax them away from the park and back into the van. The pics, although not the best, are a fun reminder of your temporary insanity.
