Love this piece by my sister about my grandma. She died yesterday and I was able to be by her side.

[Eleanor Margolis @EleanorMargolis]

My grandma died yesterday. Nothing - from a flying severed leg, to me coming out - ever managed to shock her. RIP Audrey Wener, 1926-2022.

I'm reposting this article I wrote about her in 2016.

Kid 1: Who do you think is older? Santa or Mrs. Santa.

Kid 2: They’re the same age.

Kid 1: Correct! They’re twins.

MAJOR PLOT TWIST

My 6-year-old insisted on leaving a tip for Santa. Cute. But also… cheap?

Right now the five-year-old is obsessed with word games. “Mum, what’s the odd one out? Fish, dish, Kamala Harris?”

The narrative that COVID is not a real pandemic & the restrictions are not needed is vile and pernicious. It is often accompanied by comments that “it only affects x” type of people & the rest of us shouldn’t be inconvenienced. Where do we draw the line about who matters? 3/n

2nd grader’s music Zoom just now:

Music teacher finishes up a heartfelt show tune in multiple octaves with table slapping.

Silence.

Kid: I have a bunny.

Teacher: Wow, what a non sequitur. Is the bunny’s name Non Sequitur?

Kid: No, it’s Nibbles.

Please, @NYCMayor & @NYGovCuomo, I implore you, DO NOT close NYC schools! There is no evidence that with the kind of safety measures our schools have in place that they fuel transmission. This is a disaster for our children.

@EleanorMargolis They tells it how they sees it. For what it’s worth, I have long admired your skull.

Eavesdropping on my kids' zooms and their science teacher has refined his set between K (9am) and 2nd grade (11am). Teaching is basically stand-up but with consequences.
