What we’re reading on the blogs today:
The tiger cub responds! Basically: “Ya’ll are haters.” Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld wrote in the New York Post that people criticizing her mother just aren’t getting her humour. Chua-Rubenfeld says she and her sister are not oppressed by their evil mother: “That is so not true. Every other Thursday, you take off our chains and let us play math games in the basement.” And on a serious note: “I think the desire to live a meaningful life is universal… To me, it’s not about achievement or self-gratification. It’s about knowing that you’ve pushed yourself, body and mind, to the limits of your own potential.”
Oh, The Hairpin, how are you so good? Did you grow up reading the Babysitters’ Club? We pretty much learned the read on those books. By Emily Weiss’ math, the baby-sitters would be 37 now. Where are they now?
