I Don't Know How She Does It Page #3

There they were.

The most terrifying creatures

in captivity.

The Momsters.

On the right, Wendy Best,

room parent,

field trip chaperone,

parent association

vice president,

also chief poobah in charge

of terrifying working mothers

with her domestic prowess.

And Janine LoPietro.

She does Pilates, yoga,

spinning and krav maga.

Fitter than a Navy SEAL,

tougher, too.

There you are, Kate.

I haven't seen you in ages.

Honey, you look great.

Well, I am just so jealous

of you girls.

You get to wear high heels

and look nice all day.

We just frump around at the park.

Kate, I don't know how you do it.

Wendy and I,

we always say that. Cookie?

- Oh... sure, thank you. Yummy.

- Yeah.

- Allison, please.

- No, thank you.

- Bye.

- OK.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye!

Bye.

- Brush your hair.

- Did you see what she was wearing?

You know, for me,

when I decided to have kids,

I wanted to be the one

to raise them.

But women make different choices

in their lives.

And, uh, I don't judge.

I try not to... judge.

- Bye. I'll talk to you later.

- Bye.

Oh, hello.

You should go home.

Oh, oh! No,

don't go in the street!

Don't go in the street!

So now, of course,

I'm late.

And I am gonna have to race

to the office

to get there before my boss,

Clark.

- Oh, hi, Clark.

- Oh, good morning.

- How are you? Here, please.

- I'm well.

- Allow me. Ladies first.

- Thank you.

Say, are you running a little late this

morning? I've just come from a meeting.

I have two choices here.

The man's excuse:

Bad traffic, downed power line,

faulty carburetor. Or...

- Mammogram.

- Oh.

Well, then, I think I'll

just take the stairs.

Good cardio.

Hey, morning, Jill.

- Meeting.

- Yeah, just a second.

Oh... Ugh!

Is that a Rice Krispie?

- Oh.

- I hope.

Oh, it's just dried

pancake batter.

Oh. Mm. Big relief.

Momo is a brilliant

junior research analyst.

She has the work ethic

of a robot, and the warmth.

But I don't care because

she devotes all that energy to herjob.

Kate Reddy? Well, she's

the best fund manager we have.

She's great at her job,

works really, really hard.

People think she's weird, though.

She checks on her kids every day.

Even during lunch,

when she should be working.

OK, can we go

to the meeting now?

Well, I guess. We don't have time

to do anything about your roots.

So I heard Clark has gotten

some feedback from New York

- on our fund proposal.

- Come on.

New York never lets us run

with anything big.

They treat the Boston office

like a sad stepchild.

- Look, you're always tired...

- Morning.

...and insufficiently groomed.

- Welcome back.

Once you smelled

like paste all day.

But you write the best reports
