Buried deep in the middle of a supplemental issue to the September "Real Simple" magazine is a short blurb on our family.
Which is funny. I mean, anyone who knows the difference between adjectives and adverbs knows the name of the mag should begin "Really"; and at any rate, if they're profiling a family that has goodness-knows-how-many people with a total of six last names among us, then it ought to be "Really Complicated".
At any rate, now we're famous. Or something.

Exciting!
ReplyDeleteI always thought that the title was ironic, because almost every article I've seen in there has been Fake Simple, or, as you say, Complicated.
Yeah, when long ago, I first saw that magazine, I figured, "This is for me!". But then I looked inside . . . 12 things you can buy to help you declutter. 7 time-intensive ways to make decorations you don't actually need. And their latest . . a family so complicated that their fact checker had to send us something like 6 different emails full of questions just to make sure they got their details right.
DeleteBut my husband (the PR guy) is super happy about the spread. So that's something! -MM
