• Having a discussion about peeing. Ahh, parenthood. #
• The Honda Fit is an awesome car. Too bad I don’t need it. If my car seats fit better in it, I would buy it in an instant. #

• Wii Music: Fun. Right now, though, my two-year-old likes the Miis and backgrounds more than making music. #

• I try to say “Jesus Christ” when things piss me off on Christmas day. That’s because I’m a giver. I give to my Christian friends. #
• Note to my children: At nighttime, we sleep. Also, your tummy doesn’t hurt if you take time to, y’know, poop once in a while. #
• Note to my children #2: There are volumes other than “loud.” #
• If anyone gives me any more errands to run today, I’m… not going to. So there. #

• Dear Minute Maid: Your “Apple White Grape” juice? Sucks. #

Whoops!

The New York Times: 

Earlier this morning, we posted a letter that carried the name of Bertrand Delanoë, the mayor of Paris, sharply criticizing Caroline Kennedy.

This letter was a fake. It should not have been published.
