Monica and Other Stuff


By now, you must have heard of Monica Emmerson. She's the woman who had a hissy fit at Reagan National airport because she felt the rules about liquids were "stupid." What makes this story a little more interesting is that Monica is a former Secret Service Agent. What makes it even more interesting is that Monica, who can be seen on a TSA video posted on the internet, vigorously walking around while pushing a stroller and pulling a suitcase, clearly angry, bending, stooping, lifting her child, left the Secret Service because of back problems. Note to Monica: you should be more careful about the location of your hissy fits. They may mess up your personal fleecing of America.


My oldest son is enjoying his first season on the neighborhood swim team. I know I'm his mom, but he is a very handsome boy. He's tall with big brown eyes, short curly hair, and a kind disposition. And he's currently a 4th grade babe magnet. Exhibit A: girl down the street who told him she gets a funny feeling when she's near him and her mother said it was love. (Her mother never said anything of the sort but Exhibit A felt it made her claims more valid.) Exhibit B: girl on the swim team who follows him around pinching his little tuschie. This is my tuschie for pinching and I'm not really willing to share it with little girls at this time. Exhibit C: classmate who followed him from one side of the lunch table to the other for two weeks straight. This is a lot of attention for my very subdued child. It's also a lot for me to deal with. I'm not ready for puppy love at the age of 10, unless it's an actual puppy.
