I'm not really a mom. "Snackers" was a college art project. The challenge was to make something out of clay that conveyed personality. Somehow he came out with a sassy smirk that tells you he's clearly up to something, so I joked that he was my first child.

I joined CC in my 20's, when the chat room was running. I was leery about creepers and figured that a pushy guy would be less likely to bother me if he assumed I was a mom. I soon learned that just refusing to share a picture is enough to do the trick, but by then there was no going back.

I remember I had some fun with it back in the day, occasionally claiming that Snackers had hacked my account if I said something snarky or if an uptight person took issue with my comments. I remember one guy was completely thrown off, demanding to know how many children I had and insisting I control them better 😂. Those were the days....😏

Anyways.... I didn't think of the "mom" part as dishonest at the time, but in hindsight I guess maybe it was 🤔. I probably wouldn't do it over again the same way, but I don't really want to change it either. Thoughts, yall? ☕🤔
LOVED reading this!
I gotta admit I was thrown for a loop when I read something here on CC somewhere a while back where you said you have no kids :LOL: I thought :unsure: okay then, whats up with the name? but never did get around to asking :LOL::LOL:
Love it!

Lol thanks... maybe I should put something on my profile or signature line about not really being a mom, I don't want to mislead people or claim false credit. 🤔

I just spent the weekend with some friends and their 2 little ones, lovely kiddos but my goodness I am WORN OUT! It was such non-stop action and emotions and questions from morning to night..... I salute your true mom-ness, m'lady! 🏆😎👍
