In february, I wrote about the time that Anne and I discussed Highlights for Children at great length:
"You know what I always hated about Highlights?" Anne said, "some idiot kid had always circled the hidden pictures."
"Seriously!" I said, "fuck that kid, man. That kid's a dick."
"And what kind of parent gives their kid a pen to draw all over a magazine that's obviously intended for more than one kid to read?"
"Asshole parents," I said, "it's called Highlights for Children, you jerk, not Highlights for your Children. Highlights should have done a Goofus and Gallant about that, man."
Well, look what arrived from the fine people at Highlights for Children a couple of weeks ago:
DUDE! That is totally me sitting next to Goofus, expressing my non-profane displeasure! DUDE! DUUUUDE!
... I know, right?!
After all these years, I am an indirect contributor to Highlights for Children.
My life is weird.
