I divulged the existence of my blog to both of my sons last night. the middle child guessed the name mean mamma right away- and challenged me to come up with an ungrateful child chant and dance. my older child thinks that blogging is stupid-why would you want to journal on-line? it should be done in private. frankly, this is private in the sense that i am not saying anything that i would mind others reading. my private thoughts stay in my head.

after poo-pooing my blog, my older child told me that he was watching a movie and that i was taking up his precious time. he had borrowed the original sabrina from the library. he knows that i really like the harrison ford version- but closed the dorr instead. child-raising sucks- you bring up your children to embrace a wide variety of media, ideas, locales- and when they finally get old enough to seek these things out for themselves they don't want to share the experience with you. i hope he remembers to take back the movie before e fine kicks in.....
