How to be the least favorite parent in one easy step. 

Step one: Request that your ten-year-old get dressed.

(OMG MOMMY I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR ALL OF MY CLOTHES ARE UGLY AND NOTHING FITS ME!!!!! I hate everything in my closets I need new clothing I don’t want any of it it’s babyish or too small or not my style you are totally ruining my life.)

  1. Thank you for once again reminding me why we chose to have all boys.

    Well, maybe chose isn’t the right word.. I wanted a girl at one point, but now I’m quite glad. 🙂

  10. Posted on Having just spent a year tkniag care of my slowly dying father, seeing Hereafter really affected me, because it deals with the connection of the dead and dying to the living. Like the french journalist in the film, I discovered that no one wants to acknowledge the altered state in which you find yourself after you have been intimate with dying (not quite the same as being intimate with death). Remember in one of the Harry Potter books that the children always arrive at Hogwarts pulled by horseless carriagesor so Harry thinks? After he experiences first hand the death of a friend, he can see that the carriages are in fact pulled by beautiful black horses, and realizes that only people that have seen death first hand can see the horses. (I think its black horsesit might be black dragons). Anyway, the point is that I felt very grateful to Clint for addressing this hugely significant aspect of livingknowing dyingAND addressing the fact that our culture wants to keep the experience as sterile as possible. Made me go on a mini Clint Eastwood jag, re-watching Gran Torrino and everything except the Dirty Harrys (yuck).
