Cool

Some days my hair wants to flip to the side

Or part in a novel place,

And my kids will say, “Cool hair, Mom,”

With half a smirk on their face.

Perhaps they don’t mean to compliment me.

Perhaps they are not sincere.

Perhaps they don’t know it’s a proven fact

Moms are cooler than they appear.
