Meandering anecdotes and an occasional incisive comment, courtesy of an overeducated, feminist former-professional, who is continually outsmarted by her overly-gifted children and genius spouse and who seeks refuge in books, cocktails, and the occasional Xanax.

umm, how about a My Little Pony-themed piece of plastic crap instead?
"I want to buy a toy gun," said four year-old Lola, "a plastic one."
"Why?" I asked, surprised.
With the air of tired patience a genius must have when dealing with an imbecile, Lola said, "So I can pretend it's a real gun."
In keeping with the comment of one of your readers:
ReplyDeleteAll you have to do is use the word "porn" in one of your posts.
I'll throw in this marginally relevant reference to a Brunching Shuttlecocks quiz about whether a name belongs to a Porn Star or a My Little Pony.
All right, now that's funny.
ReplyDeleteDid you dare ask why she wanted to pretend she had a real gun? Texzmissy
