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.

a trick question
Six year-old Lola asked me, "Mama, have you ever met the devil?"
Abstractedly I muttered, "No, I don't think so."
Lola instantly erupted. "ALL THOSE TIMES I TOLD YOU I AM THE DEVIL? AND YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME?"
I like to think that by following your blog, I'll be better prepared to deal with my own little ambush journalists one day.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the WSJ mention, by the way. And be sure to post your opinions on Patch 3.1 ^_~
Lola is my hero.
ReplyDeleteI almost feel sympathetic for Lola.
