shut up, kid

So this morning, as we're getting ready for school, the Little Ballerina is running in circles around the kitchen island. Then she stops, and gazes at me.

"You have a big butt."

"What did you say?"

"You have a big butt. But I still love you."

Now, I know when I was pregnant, I ordered one of those respectful kids, who would call me ma'am and do dishes. I'm going to have to file a complaint.

Um, do they watch the show?

The American Fertility Association has hired 'Desperate Housewives' actress Brenda Strong as their national spokeswoman.

Ms. Strong -- known to many as Mary-Alice Young, the narrator and dearly-departed Wisteria Lane neighbor on ABC's hit "Desperate Housewives" -- wrestled with infertility and turned to the practice of yoga to manage and alleviate the associated stress brought on by the diagnosis.

Strong's character on Desperate Housewives SPOILER ALERT! was an infertile woman who paid a heroin junkie for her baby, and then killed said junkie years later when she came to reclaim the child. I'm not sure that's exactly the image the Association wants to portray.
