I’m selling a bunch of Pokemon cards. Why? Because my kids sneaked them into my shopping cart while at the grocery store and I ended up buying them because I didn’t notice they were there until we got home. How could I have possibly not noticed they were in my cart, you ask? Let me explain.
Thus begins the entertaining story of another mother of many (six, in this case) getting fed up with the kids and letting loose amusing anecdotes of grocery shopping antics into an otherwise mundane eBay listing of a few dozen Pokemon cards. For whatever reason, this simple story, familiar to most with kids, has catapulted “mom2my6pack” into the global spotlight. Her posting was featured on sites like digg and reddit and managed to receive 149,023 hits at her last count. Her blog (mom2my6pack.blogspot.com), filled with many more hilarious tales of childrearing, has gotten 18,417 hits in a single day from over 60 different countries.
Here’s another link to you, Pokemon-mom. Hope you can keep it up. (Both the entertaining writing and the successful parentage of half a dozen munchkins without going insane.)
