The Bots
My daughter asked me via facebook, “ Is there a way that we can trade J2 in for the the two little kids in the group, The Bots, because 1. they could get us money, and 2. they are so much cuter than him….consider it plz. THANK YOU!” And I considered it. Considered it hard. They are just as cute as J2 and the food I feed them they’d definitely earn back with their enormous talent. Then I’d miss all the jokes I crack on

Is She the Next Big Thing?
Gabi Wilson: The next big thing? Disney is looking for the next big tween star and Gabi Wilson is hoping it’s her. You have probably seen her on NBC’s Today show singing a rendition of an Alicia Keys song. She has also appeared on Maury’s Talented Kids and Showtime at the Apollo. You probably said, damn that kid is talented! And she is. Along with singing and playing the piano, she plays guitar and writes poetry.

How to Explain Duality to a Mixed Child
I just read this excellent article over on Racialicious about the Gosselins and race. Okay, it was mostly about that one episode where Jon outs himself as Korean but to make sure folks knew he was white, too, he basically dissed his own culture. My favorite part of the article was this paragraph: While race is a complicated issue for children to grasp, numerous studies indicate that children as young as have an understanding of it. This means that Jon and Kate could have at least pulled out a map, pointed to Korea and and explained that Koreans are people from that country.

Sophomore Year: What do you know?
The beginning of the sophomore year puts both Cricket and J2 at a disadvantage. Cricket: after a stellar start to the first two quarters of college her third quarter GPA dropped and her scholarship was suspended. Now she has to find a job to help pay tuition and, much to her sadness, she can’t row crew in the fall. Yeah, boo-hoo. J2 is on home house arrest, which he hates. We’re hoping he’ll take this time to focus on his studies and become a solid C student instead of always being on the verge of retention. It’s not like he’s in jail so I don’t expect him to come out spouting the koran and loving bean pies,
