When did mothers first come to America?

No, seriously, it seems like academics, publishers, Wall Street, the news, the media, have just figured out that there are mothers who walk among us. Sure, you saw pictures, there was that holiday with all the flowers, but real-life mothers who are also women? (You know, women -- with the breasts and the skirts, the sashaying hips, sometimes a naughty twinkle in the eye . . . ) Well who knew!

I remember being annoyed by the Salon "Mothers Who Think" columns. I know some said that it was supposed to be a dig at the idea that mothers don't think, but I don't buy it. I think it was a marketing thing to say, "Ooh, you're not like the typical mom, come join our little gang of un-mom-like moms."

Ditto the MILF phenomenon. These aren't regular moms, fellas, these are women who have sex! News flash: all moms have sex. It's kind of a prerequisite for the job. I'll go out on a limb and say that this means that most moms are considered hot by someone. Why just last night my husband told me . . . I'll spare you the TMI.
