<\/a>Mug shots. Probably not the nicest way of saying it. But …okay. I said it anyway. Mug shots: those senior portraits.<\/p>\n

I mock because I love, but I’m not doing it.<\/p>\n

No, I have to …think about it. But Jay (and Robin!) of the Disco-ing Mermaids<\/a> have once again thrown down the peer pressure, so the rest of us must assemble our high school geekesque selves and post our senior pictures. Betsy Bird<\/a> has shown us the way, as has Sara — looking wholesome and sweet<\/a> (why, yes, like granola, Sara!), and really, Jay and his bad boy guitar and Robin with her fluffy hair are adorable. I stole my friend Dan’s sweater for my senior picture, and it LOOKS like it. Plus, my chin is all weird. SO, no, I’m not posting mine, although I just looked at them this weekend. *shudders.*<\/p>\n

Okay.
Now, I …I… MotherReader, can you hear me? I’m going to have to get out the BACA<\/a> stamp and put on my kickers. What IS IT with these autumn titles!? And Doret, his HEAD IS ON THE COVER.<\/p>\n

“It’s something that as a father you kind of have to sacrifice what you want to do, because boys do what you want to do. If I want to go to the farm and shoot guns or ride four-wheelers in the mud when it’s 40 degrees … the girls aren’t really interested in doing that,” he said.<\/p>\n

But McGraw said he’s found that his daughters like coming along while he does simple, everyday stuff, like running to the grocery store or stopping by the office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim McGraw, talking about his daughters and his children’s book: My Little Girl<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it would have been better if he’d put in My Stereotypically Simple Little Girl. Or, maybe, just.. you know, The Little Woman<\/i>.<\/p>\n

*mumbles, kicks dirt, says bad things under breath*<\/p>\n

Tami Lewis Brown and Liz Gallagher are exploring horror<\/a> at the Tollbooth. And Cynthia L. Smith is being interviewed on GottaWrite Girl<\/a>. Check her out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
