It seems that everyone is playing online poker these days. The kid bagging your groceries is grinding away in the basement trying to qualify for the WPT and that kind old secretary at your doctor's office is the shark stealing away your blinds.
Poker players come from every walk of life, but there is a very special breed among us. Who are they, you might ask? I'm talking about the poker playing mothers. Oh, they may crack a little smile while raking in that last pot, but they always remember what really brings true happiness to their lives. Their children.
So, while Mommy may be the most feared player on the felts, her kids have no idea. Not by a long shot. To them, she's the one wiping runny noses and running load after load of laundry to keep clean clothes on their back. But, this new pastime has introduced a wrinkle and a new challenge into Mom's job. What do you feed the hungry rug rats?
After all, no self-respecting mom wants their loved ones doing this:

So what's a poker playing mom to do? The answer is right in front of you. The next time you chastise someone for calling your push with rags, take a very careful peek into your keyboard. What do you find? Nothing? Look closer, Mommy. Do you see anything now? Ah, all kinds of delicious crumbs from all those sandwiches and snacks you eat while playing!

The next time junior tugs on your shirt sleeve and starts rubbing his belly, don't fret. Just have him cup his hands and give your keyboard a quick shake. There's enough to satisfy any kid's hunger pangs! Junior will be happily licking the remnants of your last PB & J off his fingers while you feast on fishies and their chippies.
And don't feel guilty because you think your kids aren't getting a balanced diet because we have a solution for that, too:
So Moms you can keep on tearing up the felts and take down those monster pots without guilt or worry. Your kids are well fed and taken care of.
Now if you could only remember their names!

LOL Very funny blog. I am sure CountryMum (Lynda) and MarnieT will associate with this. My 2 "kids" are my adult son and my hubby and often I can't play a game as I have to prepare dinner or do the food shopping. (Remembering that your evening is our day time here in Australia).
Very funny. ROFL
