Some days, it's easy to feel like a nerdy outcast as a mom. Even when a mom is a cool mom, it's like there's a qualifier there - yeah, she's cool ... for a mom.
When I hear the phrase Cool Mom, I picture the mom in armpit-high mom jeans and feathered hair giving the thumbs up in front of a minivan. That's the mom that lets her kids enjoy the occasional box of Cocoa Puffs and serves glasses of lemonade on a tray to her brood and their friends when it's hot out. (I know, what kind of 80s sitcoms have I been watching, anyway.)
In a quest to make us all feel just a tad cooler, I give you five things moms have in common with Lady Gaga.
1. We stop fights. Moms often referee between siblings or other kids on the playground to keep the peace. Lady Gaga stopped one of her shows to break up a fight.
2. We wear ridiculous outfits. I can attest to the fact that babies love zany pajama bottoms. The wackier the better. Lady Gaga knows her fans appreciate her madcap and colorful ensembles. Case in point: the meat dress.
3. We will do absolutely anything, no matter how silly, to entertain. I have witnessed normally serious people act insanely goofy when entertaining a child. Not that I could call myself serious, but I have busted a move on occasion when I sense the whining ramping up to 11. Lady Gaga arrived at the Grammys in an egg. That's pretty silly, right?
4. We employ affectionate nicknames. I call my baby-kins "Honey Bear Pie Pants" or "Honey Bear Poo Pants" depending on the state of said pants. Lady Gaga affectionately calls her fans her "Little Monsters."
5. For very different reasons, sex is not a huge priority for moms or Gaga. Stereotypically, sex is not number one on a new mom's to do list. In fact, for six weeks after evicting her child via her vagina, sex is a no-no. Plus, hormone changes associated with breastfeeding can suppress a mom's libido. Gaga told Vanity Fair, "I have this weird thing that if I sleep with someone they're going to take my creativity from me through my vagina." Well alrighty then.
