[...] 1. Little. Yellow. Different: Because he’s hilarious, especially when he transcribes his many conversations with his mother: E: Why did you bring bedroom curtains? I didn’t ask for curtains. Mom: Your bedroom lets in too much light. When I’m in your room and I look at the window, someone’s always outside, looking in. E: Uhm, when are you in my bedroom? How often are you in my bedroom? Are you coming in my house when I’m not at home? Mom: (skirting issue) You need curtains for your safety. SAFE-TEE. Maybe if you knew any karate I wouldn’t be so worried about you.

George, every time I see my father he talks about how sad it was that my grandmother always wanted to and didn’t get to see one of her grandchildren graduate from college before she died.

No, no– you have it all wrong, ernie. Here’s what you do: Set up a pavlovian response with your parents; tell them that when the curtains are drawn closed, you aren’t home. When they’re open, you *are*. Then, when you’re working at home, you just keep the curtains closed *all the time.*

Your mom gets to put up new curtains, you don’t have strangers peeking in and you’re left alone while working, and no glare on your laptop screen– everybody wins!

Thanks, Dad. At least I’ll have something to talk to my therapist about this week.

OMG. Heroin in a tube!

That’s probably on the same aisle as St. Joseph’s Chewable Valium for Children, right?

I used to get into such arguments with my parents … then I showed them the magazine when it was published … and then they showed everyone with such pride … they continue to wonder what I’m doing on the computer
