It's the Friday before Labour Day. Summer vacation is almost over. The kids have been home all week because for some reason, there is no camp the last week of vacation, just when beleaguered parents need it most.
Today, my children are engaging in an ongoing insult contest. Zohar is now wailing because her unusually benign toast, "Cheers to God!" (don't ask me where that came from -- she is usually an atheist), prompted Jacob to respond with "Cheers to Zohar being a baby." Normally, he'd get in trouble for that but seeing as Zohar called him an octopus head just a few minutes ago, I thought it best to let it pass. Zohar is now in her room sobbing because I didn't punish her brother. I am trying to maintain my stated policy of ignoring everything but blood.
Anyone who would like to rent some children for the long weekend, please e-mail me at eden.nameri@thomsonreuters.com. No reasonable offer refused.
