Three boys with a stroller

I was in the car yesterday waiting at a stop sign that is only a 2 way stop so it always takes a long time for traffic to move. On the sidewalk I see three boys in Jeans, baggie sweatshirts and the same bowl hair cut. The oldest who looks about 14 is pushing a stroller. As they get a bit closer I realize they are not 3 brothers but the one pushing the stroller is the mom. Does she realize she looks like an adolescent boy? Do her other boys (probably 6-10 in age) realize they have the same wardrobe and haircut as their MOM? If not they will soon and I am afraid for what those boys will hear at school. If my brothers had the same haircut as my mom growing up they would have been teased mercilessly.

Perhaps she is punishing them for something terrible they did.

...Oh the dedication of that mother. Putting her own fashion at risk for the sake of discipline...
