I am your Mother. I am not ... #2 (no not THAT #2, although I'm not that either....)

I am your Mother - I am not a pack mule.  Yes, I am the one who is holding our place in line to get popcorn while you all go to the bathroom before the movie.   That does not mean that I also want to hold all your stuff!  Just take your sweatshirts, book, purse, and 3D glasses with you!  You've piled it in my arms so high, I will be forced to dance the "Don't Drop the Stuff Tango" while trying to get money out to pay for the popcorn.   And, Dear Son, you have no right to get mad if I lose your place in your book when you place it precariously on top of the stuff in my arms. Why did you bring a book to the movies anyway?!?
