What we’re reading today:
1. Your dad is hipper than you, probably.
2. You know those iconic album covers featuring kids? Slate finds out what the Nevermind baby, the Notorious B.I.G. baby, Blind Melon’s bee girl and more are up nowadays.
4. Babble wonders whether a mom could have written Adam Mansbach’s Go the Fuck to Sleep. Well, why the fuck not? We don’t buy this “It’s OK for a dad to write a book like Go the Fuck to Sleep but not a mom. People think a clueless or inept dad is funny” bullshit. First off, we don’t think Mansbach comes off as clueless or inept, he comes off as an exhausted parent. Secondly, we think people are more accepting than Babble thinks of irreverent moms who own the crap out of not living up to June Cleaver expectations. Pregnant Chicken‘s Amy Morrison could have written GTFTS. Borrowing some Aaron Sorkin, if someone else was going to write GTFTS, they would have written GTFTS.
