have you guys heard of this?
Are They Here To Save the World? one of my coworkers is convinced that the Indigo Girls are somehow behind it. snicker.
anyway, there is a great mock-essay in the New Yorker this week on the
Dandelion Child, by Paul Rudnick.
Shortly after Billy was born, I noticed that he possessed an unusual affinity for organic play, because whenever I took him on picnics he would eat bark. He also demonstrated highly precocious hand-eye coördination, because at only six months old he was able to fling his dirty diapers at strangers, laugh, and point to me. Before his first birthday, he was speaking in complete sentences, although he was using a complex secret language, similar to Karl Rove’s.
it's pretty funny.
