The Best Mom Her Kids Have, Maybe?


Beware of Beast Mom 3!


Fire up the popcorn and put on your 3D glasses, Jeremy's been to...wait...there's no movie named "Beast Mom 3."  This isn't one of your movie reviews? 


It is not.  Today's Sametime Status is in regards to a fairly awful license plate I saw not that long ago.  The thing said "BSTMOM3," ostensibly referring to the fact that the driver felt that she was the best mom.  Now, this leaves out a lot of information, such as family, date range, even species.  She may have simply been referring to herself being the best mom currently driving that car, or arrogantly feeling that she's the best mom currently in the state, country, or world, or even worse the best mom in the history of the world.  Of course, that title is already taken by one of my loyal readers.  (Hi, Mom!)  

What s truly ironic about the whole situation is that the license plate was not simply "BSTMOM", or even "BESTMOM," but "BSTMOM3," meaning ostensibly that BESTMOM, BSTMOM, BSTMOM1, and BSTMOM2 were already taken by other moms who believe themselves to be the best.  I don't believe the DMV is an official authority figure when it comes to motherly quality and is therefore able to award standings like this that hold any meaning.  There was never any proper adjudication to name any of these people the best mom, leave alone properly ranking them from 1-3.  Also, if you were properly judged to be the Best Mom (or third, in this case), I don't think it would be wise to advertise that sort of thing on your car, since Best Mom 4 is probably looking to take you down. 

Because of all this, I took it upon myself to come up with an alternate meaning for the license plate which would make a whole lot more sense.  That definition, of course, is that this person is the leading character in the Beast Mom series of films which have yet to be written or produced.  The good news for me is that should I decide to write them, at least one of my casting decisions will already be made for me.  Thanks, Beast Mom 3!
