You like to read? I like to write.

I'm a freelance writer living in Northampton, MA, with my husband and two daughters. I write all the livelong day—sometimes for money, sometimes for fun. This is the fun part.

Dec 18

All ratted up like a teenaged Jezebel

The other night Lila and Stella broke into sixties-style dancing in our kitchen. You know what I mean — swinging their arms up and down, shimmying their tiny little booties, shaking their heads side-to-side.

“They dance like this in Hairspray!” Lila shouted, grooving away. Yes — I let the girls watch Hairspray about a month ago. Perhaps somewhat against my better judgment.

“Yeah!” Stella exclaimed. “This move is called the Gravy & Mashed Potatoes!”

“Don’t you just love Tracy?” Lila said, shifting from the Gravy & Mashed Potatoes to The Swim. Tracy is the main character in Hairspray.

“Yes!” Stella shouted happily. “She’s a whore!”

At which point I fell to the ground and died.
