Apparently, a story about the psychosis of two-year-olds that begins with an anecdote about my son pooping on me isn’t fit for an international readership—Reuters declined to distribute this week’s column. But I think it’s pretty funny anyhow—and not entirely gratuitous.
In which I get up on my high horse and rail against hypocritical liberals (who, me?) who criticize the government and corporations for withholding health insurance while allowing their own babysitters and nannies to fend for themselves… It’s time to pay up, people.
Latest Reuters column, this one a dinner party anecdote about a hot babysitter wrapped up in depressing ruminations about the basic savagery and superficiality of human nature. Fun!
The first piece written for my new “Family Life” column for Reuters is all about kids and food and how far we as parents will go to get something un-fried, un-sweetened and halfway nutritious into the mouths of our picky little tyrants.
The second installment of my new Reuters column involves a celebrity pediatrician and my wife’s boobs. Response has been highly enjoyable, ranging from the dad who took the opportunity to rave about how he can bring his wife to orgasm through nursing to the New Zealand feminist blogger who can’t believe we didn’t get more worked up about our our groovy pediatrician.
