I have a bit of a 'thing' about 'mommy blogs'. Some people hate them and find them boring and mundane. But I find them fascinating. I can't help it because there is something intriguing about the rituals of suburban mothers. There is one which I visit daily and can't get enough of. It is actually the first blog I started reading religiously. Tertia struggled with infertility and eventually had twins - who are incredible smart and witty. She writes on So Close and writes a column for the Times, in South Africa.
She has a large following and as a result the comments she gets are also very interesting. From crazy yanks, to staunch Afrikaners. They all loooove her.
She is smart, witty and incredible funny (she must get it from her children). A definite worthwhile read.

Me: It is important to be polite. Polite children say please and thank you, and they listen to their mommy. We like polite children.

Adam: But we like dark children too?
Me: POL-lite, Adam, polite. But yes you are right, we like light children and dark children, but we especially like polite children.
