You guessed it: LU-LU. You know her. Every gym has at least one. Her designer workout attire is always perfectly matched and never wicks away a bead of sweat. Her phone rings off the hook the whole time she is on the treadmill, and she lets you know who made Kelly Ripa's dress that morning, because she got it last weekend. She talks about all the great food and wine she enjoyed over the weekend then gets on the scale and shrieks with glee because she lost 2lbs. Her. Well todayI learned what my her's motto is, and its definitely along these lines:
She was in front of me dropping her child off and when LULU jr. made her way through the tiny tree shaped door to go play, she got hit on the head. By another girl, whom LULU Sr. apparently knows. She screams at the child. She promises to tell her mother. Upstairs in the cardio area I hear on her phone and she refers to the little girl as "that little b**ch". So apparently you can be cute, well-dressed, sane, and in fabulous shape; but not all 4.
Have you ever disciplined someone else's child?
That's hilarious...and not all at the same time. :)Jenny

ReplyDeleteThere's a LULU in every town!
ReplyDeleteI have disciplined someone else's child. In 12 years it's happened less than a handful of times but every once in a while a CRAZY kid comes along whose mother does not know how, apparently, to say no or discipline her kid. Sometimes, for the safety of your own spawn you must scare the crap out of the little terror running around the playground holding a branch like a spear that is aimed at your kid's head. Naturally this little terror's mother is also dressed in LULU and though she has no idea where the gym is... :)
This is why I choose the cheap crappy Target workout wear. It's much too long to say "The bitch of a mother who yelled at the kid who was chasing a kid with a spear in his hands while wearing cheap crappy Target workout gear!" :)
