Because people look at us funny.
Honestly, I don’t care if we take the skimmer into public, but at some point, the mommy shaming begins. Even worse, I am a Dad. Those women roll their eyes at us, and think. “if that baby were out with Mom then she would have him whipped into shape. His mom clearly doesn’t care enough to double check what her child takes with him outdoors.” The truth is Son, we can’t let mommy look bad. We got to represent. Mom works hard for us, so we have to work hard for her. That means no skimmer today.
You better not lose your stuff either because it had to stay at home too because that only motivates me to take it away from you more. I don’t want you getting attached that much to anything in this world. That’s Dad’s problem. He gets too attached to stuff. He is one wife death away from becoming a hoarder, and he doesn’t want that for you. So yes, there goes the skimmer and you can have it later. It might also teach a little something about patience, something daddy doesn’t have either.
