My kids are in the Caribbean with their mom, her Republican husband, and the rest of their other family. The youngest, Claire, calls every evening to report on the day’s doings on Grand Cayman. I guess they had a game of Scattergories the other night. The letter rolled was F and one of the categories was “Found in the White House.” Claire said her first thought was “fuckers” but, not wanting to drop a vulgarity into Wholesome Family Activity, she settled instead on “felons.” She told me that Rory opted for “fascists.” I get only partial credit for that second one—step-kid, no DNA in the game, though it's said that the early home environment can be dispositive.
Anyway, rewarding to receive occasional notice that your kids are turning out okay. Claire does need some work on her basketball and baseball fandom.
