If you give a Mom an Option, she might choose not to get dressed first thing in the morning.

If she doesn't get dressed first thing in the morning, she may have to drive her daughter to band in her pajamas at 7:30am.

If she drives her daughter to band in her pajamas, since she's still in her pajamas when she comes home, she may choose to go back to bed.

If she chooses to go back to bed, her band daughter may call her an hour ealier than usual to come and pick her up.  She will then have to instruct her to call her dad to come and get her and not admit the fact that she is in bed.

Since the Mom may still be in bed in her pajamas, the four year old may have to come and tell her that the baby is awake.  The Mom might then ask the four year old to go visit the baby and talk to him so she can have five more minutes of sleep. 

If the Mom tries to get five more minutes of sleep, she may get another call from band daughter and hear how bored band daughter is hanging out with dad at the fixer-upper house and if the Mom could please come and get her.  The Mom may try to talk band daughter into having dad take her to a friend's house until Mom can get there, as Mom's "not quite ready."

If the Mom tries to get ready, it will not be possible as she may be "bloated" and the last remaining washed pair of pants may not fit.  The Mom will then stay in the pajamas as she is just merely driving again and picking up band daughter from a friend's house.  The Mom may load the small children into the car and go and get band daughter.  Before that however, she might offer to bring her husband a brownie at the other house.  It won't be a big deal since the husband has seen the pajamas before.

If the Mom in the pajamas drives to the band daughter's friend's house to get her, Mom's husband might be there waiting for his brownie instead of at the other house.  Since he is there, they might decide that together they can go and check out a couple of near-by yardsales to see if there's anything good.  Pajamas won't matter as they probably won't get out of the car anyway.

Since they are passing by a non-populated yardsale and there might be something good, Mom and husband might get out of the car and leave the kids in "just for a second" with it running so they can leave the air-conditioner on.

When Mom and husband come back to the car they might find that it is overheating and have to pull over down the road and wait for awhile.

Since they are pulled over in a hot car, there might be a few arguments that ensue between different combinations of individuals.  Luckily, the friend's house is close by so they might have to go back there and hang out.

While they hang out at the friend's house, the husband may decide they have to take the car to the shop.  The Mom may quickly offer to take the kids back home and meet the husband at the shop (hoping to get dressed very quickly while there).

When mom pulls up to the house, the husband may call and say "I'm already at the shop so could you hurry back and pick me up, I have to be at the other house to meet the carpet guys".

When pajama-clad Mom gets to the shop and picks up the husband to take him to the fixer-upper house, he may want her to come in and see all his great work.  She may or may not despair at the strange looks received from neighbors wondering what a woman in pajamas is doing at noon going into a house no one lives in.

After the Mom admires work of the husband, she may head back home.  On the way, she may get a call from band daughter wondering where she was and when she would be home as they have to go to the waterslides very soon.

When the Mom arrives home and has to do fifty things to get three children off to the waterslides and a birthday party, she may be frustrated at herself for giving herself the option of not getting ready right away and feeling behind all day.  She may take these frustrations out on a teenage son whom she hasn't seen in 24 hours.  She may actually appreciate the fact that everyone is walking on eggshells and trying not to further her frustrations.

Since the Mom is already frustrated and serves a God with a sense of humor, the 18 month old may come out of a bedroom with an ICEE cup of melted slurpy and leave a big red spot on the carpet. 

An 11 year old, realizing that the Mom is already frustrated, might try to be helpful and clean up the red spot with a brand new master bathroom decorative washcloth.  It may remind the Mom of the story of the Cat in the Hat and the pink spot that overtook the house.

While the Mom is remembering the Cat in the Hat, she might remember that her preschoolers need lunch and her baby needs a nap.  She might take care of both things and send the older kids to the waterslides on better terms.  They might gush about how great she is.  Well, everyone except the teenage boy.

Since the baby is napping and the 4 year old is eating lunch, the Mom might decide to write really quick about her morning and relax for an hour before the two 2nd-graders get home from school.  She might even THINK about getting dressed.

Because the Mom only THINKS about getting dressed and doesn't actually do it, the 2nd-graders might come home a whole hour earlier than expected since it is the last day of school and the Mom didn't realize it was EARLY EARLY release day.  It might be 1:30pm before the Mom gets dressed.

And since it might be 1:30 pm before the Mom gets dressed, she may decide to just stay in her pajamas all day.....if you give her the Option!
