WOW

I just saw an Olay Regenerist ad that asked "How do you WOW?"

I have given it some thought, and here are some of the ways I WOW:

• I shower (you're welcome)
• I usually put on eye makeup, as I look terribly washed out without it IMHO
• Deodorant
• I have been known to randomly pounce a standing Sean, a la Calvin and Hobbes. True story.
• I don't do it often, so when I do take the garbage out it definitely gets a WOW
• I speak in random accents at random times
• The shoe thing, obviously
• On occasion, I don't let the laundry pile up. Huge WOW factor.
• Oscar night costume changes
• I told the boys that I would make them give me a booty shake when they ask for things until they are 18 years old. That got me a WOW, as well as some dirty looks
• I took my 11 year old to see Les Mis, and after the "Master of the House" scene he leaned over and  asked me "Is that 'humping'?"

I think that last one is a good one to end on. Great parenting gets a WOW every time.
