I overheard a conversation today between a group of wonderful, smart, funny, downtrodden Betamoms of Betakids. I will relay the conversation and attempt to translate for any Alphas who may accidentally have found their way on to this site. (I forgot, Alphas don't do anything accidentally, so if you are here, you are spying.)
Betamom 1: (with joy and entusiasm) "I had such a great day today, I picked up my Betachild at Alpha Academy, and there was a note in his cubby saying that someone bit him today."
Translation: Some mother came to pick up to find a note that their kid bit someone! Better her than me!
Betamoms 2, 3, & 4: Congratulations! That's great!
Translation:That's great! Finally one of us is the victim! It's a victory for Betakids everywhere! BTW, what's with the bragging?
Betamom 1: "I know, I had to read it three times!"
Translation: I lost my reading glasses and my Klonipin hadn't kicked in, so I couldn't believe my eyes.
Only in Betacircles does an assault on rather than by your child merit cheering. That's Betamoms. Lookin' out for number 1. And sometimes number 2.
