Winner of “Are You a WT Mom” contest!

by whitetrashmom on July 30, 2008

Because there were SO MANY excellent entries for the contest, I had to go and get help judging the entries from one of my favorite bloggers, blogging superhero, Shawn Burns, also known as "BackPacking Dad".

If you don’t read Shawn’s blog, you need to. Besides being a total good sport at Blogher, letting 1000 women give him hell, Backpacking Dad is so friggin’ funny. Here is his email about the WINNER of the contest, his pithy words are in blue.

"As I understand the concept, a White Trash Mom is someone
who would, like me, consider nuking egg-whites and unpeeling a banana "making
breakfast". So, it was very tempting to pick one of the "wearing pajamas" at the bus
stop answers, because they seem to epitomize that kind of "I don’t have the time
or energy to give a good rat’s ass about what you think I should be
doing, asshats."

It was a tough decision but I have to go with Wendy (letthedogin.com) . Her answer is the White Trashiest of
the White Trash questions on the list.

Wendy’s entry: "Do your
kids ask "who’s coming over?" every time you pull out the mop?"

Because not only
has the mom in that case proven herself to be White Trash in the relevant way,
but that trashiness has diffused down to her kids. And that’s just golden.

Congrats Wendy! Email me your info and get a signed copy of the book. All the rest of you ladies are too damn funny not to get something, trying to figure out a good prize that won’t cost me a fortune to ship. Truly world class White Trash Mom, Hall of Fame stuff! Thanks so much for playing and there are more contests this week and next.

tackyprincess July 31, 2008 at 10:29 pm: Way to go, Wendy! You are truly a girl after our own hearts. Seriously, that could be a page out of our own book! That sort of thing happens at our house all. the. time! Sadly, the same thing with really good dinners. “Who’s coming to dinner?” Yeah, we’re high class…
Congrats!
