Don't make me sic King Wenclas on your ass, Ayelet

I happened to read the article on mom blogs* in the Sunday Styles section only because I was at the coffee shop and the only other section of paper available was Automobiles.

As soon as I saw the title of the article, I muttered under my breath, "Mrs. Kennedy better be in here."

Because not only is she extremely entertaining, but she's also...well, she's also one of the few bloggers with child that I "know" and hence I just thought she deserved to be featured in the article.**

Ayelet Waldman, who happens to be Michael Chabon's wife, is also featured in the article. Ayelet Waldman goes on to dis Mrs. Kennedy in her blog, wondering, "Why was she included?"

Ayelet, perhaps Mrs. Kennedy was featured in the article because she's been blogging for over three years. You've been blogging since November. Ease up there, sparky.

[Caveat: I don't speak for Mrs. K. I just happen to like the woman. She did a bang-up job as a guest blogger. A message to those who malign anyone who's guest-blogged for me (except Reeves, because he enjoys the abuse): I will punch you in the mouth.]


*Hey, who can find the egregious grammatical error in the article? I know someone who can't: The Times' copy editor!
**Kinda like when you're stuck talking to your neighbor during some flight out of East Jabipp and he says, "You're from NYC? My cousin lives in NYC! Do you know Frank?"

I felt just a little bit cool by association, having guest blogged alongside of Mrs. Kennedy here at the ttbbb, etc.

Of course, I couldn't get in on the parenting blog craze, since my children were past the cute stage before personal computers were even fucking invented. My first parenting article was published in the Sunday supplement section of the newspaper! Talk about your old media.
