Daily News for Monday, August 18, 2008
A SPIDER STORY: Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore The author wrote this wonderful story for her daughter's web site (www.theanticraft.com) last year. It's all about the Garden Spider. She is sharing it with ColumbiaMagazine.com readers, who have been showing a greater appreciation of these beautiful, beneficial, and fascinating creatures By Barbara Armitage Your mother will tell you that giving birth is the most rewarding thing a woman can do. I'd like to tell you that's crap. There are hundreds of reasons for giving birth--tequila, for example, is very popular The truth is that our species has been perpetuated for thousands of years solely for the purpose of fulfilling the parental curse: "I hope that you have one just like you!" There are befits to procreation other than parental revenge--like having someone you can embarrass in front of their friends, or someone you can make feel guilty because they didn't call you--but my personal favorite is the sheer joy of scaring the heck out of an innocent child. Before any child-rights, family-advocacy, tofu-eating pacifists get your knickers in a twist, stop. I have one word for you (or is it three?): Peek-a-boo! Yeah, you've done it, too. You have no moral high ground here. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2008-08-18 19:04:31 | Comments | Printable version
