And then it happened. She LOST it.
After having a day that mirrors something akin to what we might go through the very INSTANT a deployment begins (oh, hello MURPHY), Amy FINALLY has had enough.
Her give-a-damn was busted, she said ‘NO MORE’ and proceeded to go all ‘Mama Beast’ on the PTA President Gwendolyn (Christina Applegate) and her ‘Perfect Mom’ clique (Jada Pinkett Smith and Annie Mumolo).
She went from the ‘Suburban Supermom’ to the ‘Fed up I’m-DONE-With-This-Mess’ mom in about 2.5 seconds flat.
It was such an empowering moment that the entire theater erupted into applause. And this was within the first 10 minutes of the movie!
I LOVE that word, ‘NO’. I don’t think we use it enough.
I’m slowly learning to use it here and there in order to save my sanity, but Amy put that word into a bazooka gun and fired it across the nation; giving MILLIONS of frazzled, burned out Moms the power to say it LOUD and PROUD!
