"Mean Girl Mommies":
We all know it's been 10 years since Mean Girls burst onto the screen, and I have to wonder what would happen if Tina Fey took on the women who really rule the school -- the mean girl mommies.
After spending 20 years working in the brutal media trenches, I was ill-prepared for what I encountered on the first day of preschool. For it was there, a few steps from the carpool line, that I saw a row of empty booster seats. They were all labeled -- princess pink with crowns for the girls, blue pirate stickers for the boys. "Am I supposed to leave her carseat?" I asked a fellow mom. "Oh no," she replied. "Those are for the kids with play dates after school."
And that's when I met the Reginas, Gretchens and Karens [the original Mean Girls] of the pre-K playground...
"Ex-nannies are off-limits to friends. That's just, like, the rules of feminism."
"Is white wine a carb?"
"That's why her diaper bag is so big. It's full of secrets."
