OUR VOICES Share day one-upping
I'd like to say thank you to the mom of the girl in Bug's class who last week sent candy with her daughter to share day. No, really, thank you (much sarcasm implied). ... While I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you did it unwittingly, you've still upped the stakes

"So did you do anything fun today in school?" I asked Bug, something I do every night whether they're at their mom's house or mine. "Yep," he said. "OK, what was that?" I asked. "Well, we played recess outside ...," he said. "And?" I asked, prodd

"Is this Devlyn?" the lady on the other end of the phone asked. "Yes, this is he," I said a little hesitantly. I generally enjoy talking with readers, but the ones I am concerned with are the callers who already know my name. Give me the callers who are pissed off abo

The first day of school arrived today, kicking off our fall on a pace that measured somewhere between controlled chaos and anarchy.

Posted by: Devlyn Brooks on Sep 8, 2009 at 4:05 PM | Stop Looking At Your Brother ...OUR VOICES The finish line
The excitement in the Brooks household this morning was palpable. And that was emanating from just me. ... Ahh, the last day of school for all of us. No more morning rush to get three of us out the door in some reasonable orderly fashion and on time ... at least for three months. Oh
