BEING A
DEN MOTHER IS..
By SUZANNE WILSON
BLADOVV
... treating all the boys equally,
showing no favoritism, and using
even-tempered judgment in disci-
pline, even with the one who hap-
pens to be yours and should know
better than to try that kind of stuff!
... knowing how to keep smiling
when your shoe is full of Kool-Aid.
... keeping track of eight constantly
moving boys during a tour of the
telephone company: "One, two,
three . . . No, one, two, three, four,
no, I already counted him, four, five,
six . .
... having glue on your fingers all
the time.
... explaining to people why you
have glue on your fingers all the
time and why there is, at times,
macaroni, pretzels, or glitter stuck
in the glue.
... wearing nail polish to hide the
paint you can't get out from under
your fingernails.
... giving up shelf space, drawer
space, closet space and the trunk of
your car to "keep things" in.
... planning a pick-up-litter-at-the-
park meeting for a fall day which
turns out to yield 10-degree weather
with a wind chill factor of 2 below.
... resolving at the beginning of the
year that outdoor activity will be
emphasized and handicraft kept at
a minimum, and then having rain
for 10 successive Monday after-
noons.
... finding that your arm is too
short to permit space on the sleeve
of your official shirt for the gen-
erously proportioned patch that
proclaims you are a Den Mother,
and deciding it would be just as
well to purchase a second patch
and wear them as shin guards.
... looking at the label in your uni-
form skirt and finding it really does
say "Official Uniform. Boy Scouts of
America."
... getting to know eight boys very
well, including the one who hap-
pens to be yours. y£
