Decoy Mom

I was reading a friend's blog this morning while the kids were strangely fascinated by the show Yo Gabba Gabba (don't ask me why-- it kind of freaks me out). It was getting close to lunch time and Ally was telling me she was getting hungry. Repeatedly. After telling her for the third time that when the show ended it would be time for lunch, I tried to tune her out. I kept my eyes on the computer screen and tried to ignore the near-constant "Mom, can you make my sandwich now?"

Finally, she got tired of my apparent refusal to answer and asked, "Are you a decoy mom or my real mom just ignoring me?"

I have no idea how she would know what a decoy mom is, but, more importantly, I want to know where I can get one.
