Kid Logic

setting: the neighborhood play center, in front of a little, rocking book.

(A child sits in the boat. Her mom sings "Row, row, row your boat..." A three-year-old boy approaches.)

Mom: Would you like to row with us?
Boy: I can't. Because I'm a race car. I can only zoom.

(The boy walks away.)

They like beer.

Chores At Work

Five dudes standing around the empty coffeepot, chatting...

We have an unofficial policy that if you take the last cup of coffee, you refill the pot. Think's it just an odd coincidence, these dudes with their cups? Let me think about that as I grab a filter to make some coffee for my afternoon break.

Called Out

My husband and I just closed on a co-op apartment. (Thanks, economic meltdown!) It's in a family-friendly neighborhood in Brooklyn. We needed a little more space for the baby, and now we'll be right by the park, the library, the YMCA, plus some family. We're very excited.

The only bummer is that we like to think of ourselves as bohemian and edgy (I know, I know), and we're a little touchy about the reputation of our safe, charming neighborhood. We avoid telling people we live in >cringe< Park Slope.

We know this is silly. And besides, all the family-friendly elements are exactly what we love about it. And I'm sure we'll keep our edge, right?

Uh, wrong. An F train subway ad:
