Soccer Mom?

Is it possible to be a soccer Mom, if you don't have any kids that play soccer? My husband pointed out to me today while walking the park, that I should be a soccer Mom, because all soccer Moms are hot. He got a kiss in between me realizing that one, he wasn't checking any of them out, and two, he still thinks I'm hot.
Three weeks ago my husband and I joined the throng of McDonald's lovin', diaper-changin, potty-trainerin', hot dog eatin' mini-van drivers. We fought the good fight but in the end we succumbed to a lovely magnesium pearl Dodge Grand Caravan. The color, consequently, is neither magnesium or pearl.
We all understand each other and have pride in our decision to drive such a vehicle and yet there is shame in trying to look cool while doing so. And for some reason, people are more ticked off to be cut-off by a mini-van than some cool SUV.
We love our van. It's been three weeks and we actually are still adhering to the "no food" policy and I bought our very own dust-buster the night we got it, just to keep it clean. It's all down hill from here...but we're lovin the comfy ride.
