I put on my blinker, trying to merge to the right, when I hear the rev of an SUV and I’m clipped; it’s a Soccer Mom (ever noticed that the most aggressive drivers are never the villainous stereotypes we imagine them to be?). ย She screams in rage as her car sparks against mine. ย I roll my window down to yell at her when I notice a whole fleet of Soccer Moms on my tail, all in giant gas guzzlers, ready to take my modest corolla DOWN. ย They all have that fanatical pissed-off-mom-from-the-suburbs look in their eyesโit’s beyond the stages of them coldly muttering, “Inappropriate,” and on scale with a level 10 PTA Rage-Blast. ย Open my eReader to Echo. ย Magic flash. ย The clouds above start morphing into Soccer Mom baitโlogos from Jcrew, the Container Store, Pier 1, poster for the latest Jennifer Aniston romcom (what a surprise; the male lead is not a minority)โand they all brakeย and stare at the sky as if they were bearing witness to the Skittles Rainbow. ย I drive off and wipe the sweat from my brow. ย Saved! ย Whew!
Unless you are in a monster truck, you’re in danger of Soccer Mom Savagery. ย Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: ย Vol. 1 on Kindle. ย Vol. 2 on Kindle here: ย Vol.2 on Kindle.
