since you asked (second in a series)
So what do the exhausted parents of an 8-month-old baby do on a Thursday night?
Not so long ago, we might have been going out to dinner, you know, starting the weekend a day early and all that. Maybe we'd catch a movie, or hang out late playing video games at a friend's house. (You wanted the truth, I'm telling the truth. Straight up.)
But now things are far different. Which is why we're watching a rerun of VH1 Classic's "Hangin' with Rush" special. Husband and baby are reclining in the gymini, and as the first strains of "Closer to the Heart" start pounding, he turns to her with undisguised delight and says, "See? That's Geddy Lee! He's Jewish, just like you!"
Yes, VH1 Classic, which basically defines the Middle Age in the 21st century. And yes, Rush, the wretched grandfathers of prog rock. The only thing that makes this all ok is that with a flick of the channel we're watching Pink's "Stupid Girls" video. (If you haven't seen it: It's a send-up of the Olsens/Hiltons/skinny bimbo culture.) As husband's people might say, "Brilliant!"
