There is no end to the funny things that come out of children's mouths. Alex, my three and a half year old is no exception. I thought I would share some funny things he has said the past few weeks.
Scene: Alex following me around every step I go in the kitchen. Seriously - like a little shadow.
Me: Alex, can you please stop following me. Someone is going to trip and get hurt.
Alex: Mommy, am I making you totally bonkers right now?
Me: Yes honey, you are.
Alex: OK (and continues to follow me around.)
Scene: The beach lots of young ladies in bikinis walking around.
Alex: "Hey ladies!"
Scene: Alex stalking me around my computer
Alex: Mommy, it's my turn to use the computer.
Me: Alex, this is my computer. How about you go play with your blocks.
Alex: How about you play with blocks mommy. I use the computer. You can use my trains too.
Scene: Alex sitting in my lap while I type this ADEA article.
Me: Alex, what funny things have you said lately?
Alex: Well, last night I snored. That's funny.

I just read an article that sounded – to me at least – like “a canary in a coal mine” or an early warning of danger. This piece, written by Joe Pompeo, appeared in the May 2020 issue of Vanity Fair magazine with the title “The British Tabloid Invasion” and a subtitle that read, “How the Daily Mail is conquering American gossip.”

Apparently the good old U.S. is a nation of “not great” sleepers. Really? And I thought I was the only one! According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it was revealed that one out of three Americans are chronically sleep-deprived. Yikes!
I think we’re all taken by the incredible mystique of the famous French fashion house, Hermès that has been with us for two centuries and is still owned and operated by the same family. From its beginnings in fine equestrian leather goods, they are – in the tumultuous year 2020 – best known for their handbags and many other items.
My image of Hermès has always been rarified products at equally rarified prices so imagine my surprise when I recently received a very stylish publication of theirs in the mail.
