children

There are many practical reasons for your children to rejoice in the fact that they are Children of Gays (COGS), and college admissions is one of them.

While your children may be in diapers today, one day they will apply to college, and in the college admissions process, they—like all other applicants—are nothing more than commodities. They must sell themselves. And the admissions essay is their one opportunity to communicate their unique selling proposition—their platform.

Okay, I want to start this post by stating that the person about whom I am writing was very sweet and I am sure meant absolutely no harm. However...

About two to three times weekly, I take my 14-month-old son for a morning stroll down to Peet's Coffee. I find Peet's to be much better than Starbucks, but I shall leave that topic for another discussion. Anyway, the stroll is about one mile in each direction, and it gives us some time outside before his morning nap. Generally, I take some fruit and a yogurt for him, and I order a muffin and a dry cap. This morning was no different.
