At my alternative school, about a quarter of the population hopped on the city bus and ditched to see the opening day of “Empire Strikes Back.” Now, there is a new movie event in my life: “Sex and the City.” Can’t wait. I have to see it at the first opening because I expect bad reviews, and I don’t want any thing to rain on my parade. I mean, reviews, hah! What do they expect? “War and Peace”? If nothing else I want to see the clothes. Take that, Napoleon.

parents don’t know what they are doing anyway, might as well laugh about it
Now that you’ve seen the movie, do you still feel like a Miranda?
Lawd, I hear ya. I was once complaining to a randomommy I met at some kid’s bday about the food at my kid’s daycare and she turned to me and said, “You should do what I do with my kids. I thave trained them to ask — whenever ANYONE offers them food — ‘is it organic?’”
Needless to say she was form the Bay Area.
Who am I to talk? I live in Portland. Land of crunch. Excuse me while I go and prepare a giant vat of broccoli rabe for my three year old. She’s pretty amped because I promised her a carob bar with caraway seeds for dessert.
Ahhh…fair enough. This was a good one.
hmm, do I feel like Miranda? Well, I related to the scene whre she is trying to figure out who is taking the kid and who is visiting the ailing parent. But, that shrill side of her always keeps me a bit from her. I was glad when they reunited on the bridge though.
