At this very moment My youngest two year old girl is attempting to drag me around the room by my shirt like a rabid terrier. The potential liability for such a transfer to the hands of innocent adults is prohibitively great — even with my standard waivers.

While I don’t really know you, personally, or your family, I am familiar with the “phenomena” you’re describing… ;)

You said it yourself in your article about the Boy Scouts.

…”Many of these discriminatory associations would not have me or my kids as members. For the virulent bigot, my kids are a NIGHTMARISH mix of Catholic, Jewish, Irish and Italian elements.”

With regard to your ongoing Hooliday conundrum – might I suggest a Holiday exorcism?

An Eccummenical dinner party, perhaps, consisting of a priest,
a rabbi, AND the Dali Lama or equivalent – if you can get ‘im,
that is ?

I must say I was reallu rooting for your Penguin this year… ;(

I think it would be great if your good friends AND maiden aunts and uncles would rally by giving you and your wife AND your kids a well-deserved and fun holiday break/good time by spending time away, together, and putting that penguin up – THIS year – 2007.

Wahddya say?
