I’m a Wimp

I got my issue of Real Simple in the mail this weekend - the Family issue. I don’t have kids, I thought, so why bother reading it? Well, I do have a mom and dad, so I decided to flip through it. Oh, man. There is this section in the issue where writers submitted letters addressed to their children for the future. For example “to be read on your wedding day”… One is even written by Dooce.

Cue the waterworks. I couldn’t even get through them all. OK, just thought I’d share.

    Oh how I hope V reads Real Simple! Some of us love seeing Dooce get torn.

    Incidentally, being male, single, and without kids, I too read Real Simple. Shh.

    I made the mistake of picking that up to read while waiting for my Elfa order to be put together at the Container Store. Nothing is more embarassing than loitering in the office furniture section, sitting at a desk and trying to inconspicuously wipe away tears.

    Glad I’m not he only one!
