Not by the hair of my chin-e-chin-chin.

Old Man 508By Dave Ellis

If you know me (and if you don’t, you can for three easy payments), you know that I don’t have any hair on my head. This is by choice: I started shaving my head during the great follicle relocation era. That was when the hair on my head suddenly disappeared, then after much searching, was found on my back. So I did what any sensible guy would do. If I am balding then I might as well be bald.

Letter from the Editor

I had a motherhood epiphany today. I was nestling my baby down for a nap, watching her relax and unwind into a gentle slumber, her sweet, soft breath on my cheek. The thought came to me that things are better when the children are close.

Choosing Children

Kids in a row 508By Nettie H. Francis

I am the mother of six children. When we all go to the grocery store, perfect strangers will often ask me, “Are those ALL your children?” (Well, yes.) “Wow, you must be a very busy mom!” (Well, yes.) “Are you going to have any more?” (Not that it’s any of their business, but, well, yes.) The situation is even better if I only have my three youngest children with me, and then I can say, “Yes, these are all my children, and I left the other half at home.”

Learning at My Mother’s Side

Mom daughter read 508By Annette Lyon

Every day when I came home from school, I could predict with relative accuracy what I’d find Mom doing. It might her monthly bread-baking day, where she’d make thirty loaves of whole wheat to freeze for the month. In that case, I’d hop onto a bar stool and eat a warm slice with melting butter and honey.

Red Shoes & Real Beauty

Red Shoes 508By Jenna L. Consolo

When I was eight years old, my mother bought a pair of red sling-back three-inch heels. I remember them distinctly because she never wore high heels, especially red ones. My mother was a martyr. Her selfish side, if she ever had one, died on the cross of labor and delivery in 1973 when I was born, the first of her nine children. My mother wore sensible shoes and often times no shoes at all. She was literally barefoot and pregnant most of my life. She was a short, round mother. Round with child, and round with the weight of carrying the child before.
