So a blogger I enjoy, Alice, who writes Finslippy, now has a regular column in the women's magazine Redbook and at Redbookmag.com. Because I find her to be a stitch - does anyone say that anymore, to characterize someone who is witty? I bet not even old people say that anymore - at any rate, she's just a stitch, so upon seeing that she was writing for a real live magazine, I surfed right over to read her first column.
It made me laugh out loud, and was a fitting evocation of an experience I had all the time when Ian was younger, when, out of sheer exuberance and poor depth perception, he would routinely smack us. Really hard!! With no aggression or malice - more as a greeting! Or to say thank you! My dentist informs me that one of my teeth - the one that still tingles randomly, a year later - bears the marks of 'trauma'. Perhaps a head-butt. I can't even remember an impact from around that time, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Dude, the day I have to get a root canal, that child had better be hand-puree-ing my food, fluffing my pillows and standing at the ready with the Percoset 24 hours a day.
Anyway, I'm an older lady now, and occasionally I need things like moisturizer recommendations and slow-cooker recipes, so I poked around the Redbook website for a few minutes.
Something I didn't know: Redbook is a veritable fount of, get this, sex advice. (They just don't put it on their cover like Cosmo does.)
I noticed this, since there's a block of links at the bottom of this page, and the first category is "sex and love". But the second link stopped me in my tracks:
"New sex positions".
REALLY? Are there really literally new sex positions? Are they new to the editors? New to (gulp) me? They might be, but I cannot imagine that there are actually any NEW sex positions.
And of course, being a new-wave girl, I now have Joe Jackson poundung in my head.
The volume's a little low on this clip. So, um, pump up the volume or whatever.

A Frenchman and an American argue in a bar. The American says there are 1,327 positions. The Frenchman insists there are only 1,326. Finally, they agree to settle the argument by enumerating them all, with a huge financial wager to make it worth the trouble of listing all 1,32-whatever.
"Okay," says the American. "The missionary position, the woman on top, side by side...."
"Wait," says the Frenchman. "What was the first one again?"
"Missionary. Man on top of woman?"
"OH, SACRE BLEU!!!!!!"
