Mamarazzi
Labels: home life
Friday, December 07, 2007
We're all familiar with the word paparazzi. You know, those photographers who stalk celebs for that kerching shot. The more embarrassing or scandalous, the better.
Well, may I now present you with a new term, mamarazzi.
A mamarazzi on the other hand, is a mum who stalks her offspring(s) for that perfect Kodak moment, the cuter, the more embarrassing (for the child when he or she comes of age)/heartwarming/funnier the better. It is also her personal goal in life to be there for all the first-times in her child's life. Events like first nail clipping, first haircut, first tooth cut, first fallen tooth, first boo-boo on various limbs, sleeping through the night (it took us five years but we got there eventually), each time baby graduates to the next sized diaper and finally to proper big boy / big girl underpants, first day at school, first crush at playschool/kindy/primary, riding a bike, learning to swim, .... the list goes on.
You know, one of those mums.
And yes, I'm one of those. And proud of it too.
