You sure can tell the difference between mothers of first graders and mothers of fourth graders. At the first grade picnic every woman brought several homemade entrees to proudly present to the other mothers. We engaged the (first grade) kids in games. And there was general sense that the moms were putting in quite a bit of effort.
Roll around to fourth grade. A couple of women bought food and a few others just made one basic thing. We didn't engage the kids in any games, we just kept them fed and then shooed them off to play.
After several hours of sitting around, drinking tea, and eating sunflower seeds several of the women got a bit restless. So, that meant...
DODGEBALL TIME!!!
These women do NOT mess around when it comes to dodgeball! They are the picture of the modest and submissive Middle Eastern wife until that dodgeball comes out. Then all bets are off! When the kids would run over and ask to join our game we shout, "No!! Move out of the way!!!" and fire off another shot at somebody's momma!
