My Mom's Cooler Then Yours – Johnny Sindacco

Of all of the weeks, in all of the months, in the entire year, this one was when Alyssa's Immune system decided to weaken and make her sick. Well just fucking great. Johnny Sindacco sat outside in the parking lot of his daughters school waiting for his mother, god bless her sainted soul. You see, it was typical in New York to have both of the parents serve in the Parent Teachers Association, and since Alyssa was really sick, she had attempted to find a replacement for her at that month's meeting. First she had contacted Rose. As you can imagine, Rose, being the maniac that she is, turned her down in a shower of expletives and the great analogy of how she'd rather walk around naked on Fifth Avenue at rush hour than sit through that hell.

Then the name of Mrs. Erin Hutchinson came about, Johnny loved his mother and he didn't want to subject her to that torture, but Alyssa threatened him, being the daughter of a maniac, and he eventually caved in under her pressure. Now, he wanted to know what could have possibly possessed his mother to say yes to such a mind numbing evening, but she agreed. He knew that people who left the Huntsclan had serious problems when they tried to integrate into normal life, his entire family was a testament to that, but his mother seemed to top them all. Yes, even Rose.

With his hands in his pockets, he leaned against his car and sighed. His mother was to meet him five minutes from now, and he had all the time in the world to kill. He had to think of what last meeting's agenda was, they talked about school lunches and bullying and all that crap and he vaguely remembered them saying that they'd pick up where they left off. Johnny groaned. He hated talking about lunches and bullying especially. No, he wasn't bullied that much because they all knew that he could beat their asses, but he hated the idea of his own children being bullied or standing around and watching some other kids that were being bullied.

Johnny hoped that his daughter didn't do it. He hoped that she'd be the girl who beat the hell out of the snobby little bitch for making a heavier girl feel bad about herself. The thought of it made him smile. If Liza were to get into a fight at school for that, she wouldn't be punished in fact both he and Alyssa might give her medals, "Hey stranger, sorry, I'm a little early."

He looked up and his eyes met his mother's identical ones with a beaming smile, "Hey Mom, sorry I asked you to come. We just need two for this shit."

"I know what you mean," Erin chuckled slightly before she walked forward and hugged her son tightly, "I was a member when Natalia and Brant were in School. Jesus Christ these Soccer Moms can be obnoxious and kind of catty. But I know how to handle them, anyway, how's the little woman, better?"

When Johnny pulled back he looked at her and smiled, "Sick as a dog."

"Poor baby," Erin said fiddling with her hair, "You make sure to tell her that I said she needs to get better, there's no way in hell that I'm doing this again."

"I wish Alyssa would just do this," Johnny shrugged as he motioned for his mother to follow him up the path way that led the main entrance of the school, it was dark out, and the only thing you could hear was traffic, "Not that I don't love my kids or care about their education, I just don't for the other kids. You know, I don't care how Suzie likes her lunch or how-…"

"…we can make it healthier? Oh god I remember all too well," Erin groaned.

As always, all heads turned to Erin when she walked down the street, and the hallway of a school building was no different. He knew why. His mother's traits were so unique and stunning that she drew the heads of everyone, even when her hair began to turn gray slightly, it still happened! Johnny was sure that it happened with him too, seeing as he shared his features with his mother, by the way these women looked at him. It happened every single time they went to one of these. Except Alyssa was always there to put him or them down, he wondered how it would work with just his mother.

Leaning closer to her ear, he whispered, "Mom, do something, look at them."

"What," Erin said looking at the faces of the parents as they passed, then sudden realization dawned on her, "Oh, I get that all the time and so do you, you know that. We're Hutchinsons. We've always been eye candy. Hell in some circles my mother could still get people to openly stare like them."

Johnny chuckled and shook the image out of his head, "Just when we talk with the other's try to bail me out when they get a little too …hands on…"

This time Erin was the one who looked up at her son, she answered him in a mocking falsetto baby voice that one used with pets and kids, "Oh my, is my baby boy asking me to beat the women off with a stick! Oh I'm so honored!"

"If I wasn't with a woman that I love that might be different," He answered with a bit of coy simile, "Last time we had a power outage and then I became the victim of a gang goose, my ass is still sore from all of those hands on it!"

"Well, if they start pinching you're behind or telling you that they want to go to bed with you I'll deal with them," She said as they followed the signs on the walls pointed to the meeting room, "But otherwise you have to do it."

Johnny sighed sadly and shook his head. This was going to be a long night.

"To address the incidents of bullying I would like to hear suggestions from our parents," Kathy Ludden, the President of the PTA said from her makeshift podium. The parents that had decided to attend that night were all sitting in fold up chairs in the schools small auditorium. She smiled and pointed to the woman who had slowly raised her hand to speak, "Yes, Mrs. ...Hutchinson?"

Erin returned her smiled with her fakest, yet most convincing, one and set it back down in her lap, "Now I don't know about you, but I saw on Dateline the other night that the bystander is the most important part of the situation, the bully likes and audience and if he or she has the bystander on his or her side, then he or she will win in almost every situation, maybe we start there."

Kathy nodded again and leaned forward to give Erin all of attention, "Do you have some suggestions, you being the expert in Child Development and all."

Rolling her eyes in her mind, Erin chose to brush past the snide comment and say her mind, "Well I don't mean to be blunt here, but there is a chance that about 75% of all of your children participate in bullying. If you want to stop it then you need to stop it right at the source. But then again President Ludden, you're daughter Becky is the cutest and meanest thing ever!"

The President looked offended, her blonde hair bounced slightly as she took the insult in, "Mrs. Hutchinson, how you know, you've never met her."

"My Granddaughter has and she's told me all about Becky Ludden and how she has sharing issues and how she is a total witch to everyone except the teachers and you," Erin smirked, that would teach her to insult her intelligence, "It's parents like you that cause of school bullies."

Kathy, now thoroughly offended, put her hands on her hips and scoffed, "Do you have any children Mrs. Hutchinson? Do you know what it's like to raie-…"

Cutting her off, Erin laughed at the woman inside her head before she motioned to Johnny who was sitting right next to her, shaking his head amusement, "Well, you balding albino idiot. This is my son and I also have another son and daughter. So I think that question answerers itself."

Slamming her gavel, Kathy narrowed her eyes at Erin and Johnny and decided something that both of them had wanted, Johnny in particular, "I don't think that you're attitude is right for the Parent Teacher Association. You, Mr. Sindacco and his wife are herby banned from all further meetings…"

"YES!" Johnny laughed and jumped out of his seat.

His mother was next to join him, they hugged each other momentarily before making their way to the divide between the chairs. Johnny stopped and turned, "Just for the record, I think my mom is cooler than any of yours because she was able to get me banned. I hate you all you snobby bitch, FYI, you all need to get laid big time!"

Johnny laughed again and threw his arm around his mother's shoulder before walking to the door. And yes, his mother was the coolest mother ever.

Authors Note: Yes, I know it was short, but I wanted it that way. I wanted Erin to seem cool, I wanted Johnny to be grateful and I wanted them to go out with a bang. I think I did that. I hope you'll review this entry.

Here's the next one, and it's DJ's turn.

Erin and Rose drag Marissa out to go shopping for her prom dress, DJ (Because he likes her) tags along for the ride. But that ride takes him to almost every single clothing store in downtown Manhattan, can he survive it? Will anyone survive it?
