Mom's The Word-Remixed

I was in Victoria August 5-7 and went to see an amazing play called Mom's the Word-Remixed. I have to blog about it because it was seriously one of the funniest plays I have seen in a long time. The picture above is the stage of the play (we couldn't take photos during). This play is about 5 women who talk about motherhood and discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of raising children from pregnancy through to the raging hormones of menopause. They say everything we said in our heads but too afraid to voice.

One hilarious scene involved a mother with her toddler at the local pool. They were changing after the swimming lessons and little "Johnny" was told to sit and drink his juice bix while mom got dressed. There was a makeshift change room and as predicted (we have all had this happen), little Johnny bolts out of the change room while mom is yelling for him to come back. Oh course he does not and the next scene is mom running buck naked out of the change room to get him. She actually ran out buck naked!! The audience screamed and laughed as she ran across the stage. Thought I was going to pee my pants laughing!!

Another funny scene was talking about teenagers and how at 13 years of age they think mother is "stupid". At 14 they think their mother is a stupid bit@%, and by 15 they think their mother is a stupid fu$@*ng bit&@. Absolutely hilarious!

No matter where you are on the parenting spectrum - or have a mother- the play is filled with laughter and relief as we are all in it together! I highly recommend seeing it if you can. My girls, Bridget and Danielle, loved it too and related to the discussions of childhood and teenagers. We had a great discussion after.
