What we’re reading today:
1. Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day is coming soon to a theatre near you! Maybe! Kids Are All Right director Lisa Cholodenko is in talks to direct a live action adaptation of the classic storybook. Via Jezebel
2. After the death of their son, two grandparents meet the granddaughter they never knew existed. Alan S. Kaufman shares this story on Salon.
3. Author Mel Robbins thinks moms should just quit. Don’t just take Mother’s Day off, just stop doing the all the domestic chores altogether. (We’re guessing Robbins doesn’t count those mothers whose families all fairly contribute to the household duties.)
4. A new study says that families who sit down to eat dinner together stay slimmer than their eat apart counterparts. Why? Maybe kids are more likely to make healthy choices when they’re around Mom and Dad.
