Anna Quindlen editorial

Friday, May 1, 2009

There's an interesting Anna Quindlen article in Newsweek last week. Check it out. I think its pretty good. She's right. Not everyone is cut-out for parenting. I'm certainly not. There should be a quiz or something before hand.

1. If you are woken up at 5 AM by a loud noise, are you:

a. bitchy?
b. panicked?
c. confused?
d. incredibly perky and happy to make the noise's day GREAT!?

2. When embarrassed in public by someone vomiting on you, you:

a. have a private cry while cleaning up in the bathroom?
b. express your shock and outrage?
c. panic?
d. thank the person and tell them how cute they are?

Things like that.

Anyway, Anna Quindlen's article:

A Teachable Moment
