  1. DH, so Smorgasburg was fun? i heard its weird becuase you basically spend all day waiting on line. once it is 90 degrees and sunny out, that may not be a fun prospect. nothing like a 3pm lobster roll that has been out in the sun for 6 hours. f’ing gross.

  2. the problem with kids nowadays is that “asshole kids” do not exist. assholes kids really have “ADD” or “ADHD” and get a bunch of pills to mellow them out when good old fashioned parenting would probably do a whole lot more good.

  3. S4E — no, they just bustled around in the background and talked quietly to each other, and occasionally smiled at us. But we were jewish kids — we thought we were breaking some commandment just by being near all those crosses and whispered prayers.

  4. slope4eva and dibs,
    It’s very interesting about autism because I was talking about this with family last week.
    There a MANY children in our neighborhood who have been diagnosed with Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder or Sensory “issues”.
    I grew up here in NYC surrounded by kids everywhere and I never knew one with autism.
    I knew one kid (Slate, at least that’s what everyone called him) who wore one of those metal wire braces linked to his teeth and around his neck, who cursed like a sailor and was somewhat mentally challenged and prone to violence but not Autistic.
