Personally, I was a swim mom. My sister's a wrestling mom.

I think we're lower on the totem pole.

Face it - ALL moms with a car are some kind of sport-mom. Or school-mom. Or Library-mom. I can't get all enthused about it as a qualification for vice president.

Nor does it make me "identify" with someone who does.
