Let’s Not Experiment on the Children
Tears. In. My. Eyes. That’ll teach me to watch CNN. Anderson “Eye Candy” Cooper’s report on “The Sissy Boy Experiment” made my heart break. Snapped right into tiny pieces. “The Sissy Boy Experiment” was experimental therapy conducted on a five-year-old … Continue reading

Forget Construction, I Belong on the Stage
Here’s what I know about children’s museums. They are crowded. They are grimy. They are germy. They are overrun with children and uber-parents. They are no place for a hangover. Maybe it’s different where you live, but I doubt it. … Continue reading
Ms. Sunshine Calls C.J. a Diva
I heart C.J.’s preschool teacher, Ms. Sunshine. She understands C.J., celebrates him, supports him and thinks he’s pretty fabulous. As C.J. approaches the end of his first full year in preschool, Ms. Sunshine scheduled the obligatory parent-teacher conference to discuss … Continue reading
Teeth Cleaning and Tiaras
C.J. had a dentist appointment this week, which he was not thrilled about. The only way to get him to cooperate? Bribes. Candy. Toys. Lunch. Shots of tequila. Whatever it takes. What really works best is the promise of a … Continue reading
