Here's to you Mrs. Olympic Medalist Mom taking care of the kids at the pool.

I'm watching the Olympics, because it's what I do...scope out what my kids need to do for 2016. Anyways, Dara Torres, I just like her, 41 and swimming in the olympics while she's swimming against girls who's parent's are in the stands that are the same age as her. And she comes out for her semi-final. It was like a beer commercial - she goes over to a judge and says something to the judge, sticks her hands in the water, gets her face wet. The commentators are all flustered, "WHAT IS SHE DOING? THAT NEVER HAPPENS, OMG, Bob!"

It turns out, she was telling the judge that some other chick - gasp- a competitor -tore her suit, and could they wait til she got a new suit on. Meanwhile, all the other swimmers were getting ready for their swim. They didn't care if the chick ripped her suit, that's one less person to swim against.

Once the commentators figured out what she was doing they were just amazed and the WONDERFUL DISPLAY OF SPORTSMANSHIP. Really folks? It wasn't sportsmanship, it's called being a mother. Taking care of the babies. And no one knows better that it never hurts to ask - even if it's an olympic judge - no one knows that better than a mom.

You know, now that I think about it, I did the same thing at the pool the other day. There was a lady there about to lose her top, the clip was about to come undone. I just went up and told her she was about to lose it and fixed it for her. Where's my medal is all I'm sayin. Us moms have to look out for each other.

So, here's to you, Dara. I bet had Dara Torres seen my gaping hole in my pants, she totally would have told me. She would have come up to me with all those medals clanking, pushing a stroller, and helped a sista out.

That's how I roll.
