I certainly don't mean to hijack your post, but I thought it was right up the alley of what you were discussing. In any event, cheers to all moms, whether they're womanning the pantries or the picket lines, the breast pumps or the barricades. Peace.

If Rob is any example of it, you've already done plenty that is socially useful. Let me know if he fails to bring you breakfast in bed. I fixed a Southern brunch for my wife yesterday. We had baked ham, spinach omlettes, hominey, English muffins with butter and jam, and coffee. Not bad for an antiquated historian, wouldn't you say?

Does this mean I have to go out and do something socially useful? Or can I still hope for breakfast in bed? (Also, tell that Luker boy that your response to parenthood arises from the deepest wellsprings of the human experience, that saccharin as an adjective has an e, and that if he calls you names again, I'm going to speak to his mother.) Love, Mom Thank you, dear. Does this mean I have to go out and do something socially useful? Or can I still hope for breakfast in bed?
