This is a reply she posted to her WaPo blog entry...
Can't really put together coherent thoughts right now.
Terry's (Terry is her 6 year old child) lying on the couch with a badly sprained knee -- it happened last night and he mentioned that he "hurt it," but he kept running around, so we didn't think anything of it.
This morning, it's swelled up in a frightening manner. I wanted to take him to the emergency room. Adam, (Adam is her husband the lighting tech, not a doctor) who's had more than his share of sprained everythings, said we should ice it, keep him off his feet and monitor the situation before going to the emergency room, as they would likely give him Advil and tell us to ice it and keep him off his feet...
(Besides, if she took her kid to the ER, she wouldn't be able to keep up with her blog and all the other online hate sites she belongs to.)
Now he's happily sketching away.. the kid is a prolific artist, lemme tell you. He drew a "girl whale" a while ago -- with long hair, "Like you used to have, Mommy."
(Before she hacked it off in a psychotic rage, on election night 2004?)
I love my kid. And, contrary to the impression the Post article gives, I DO NOT SCARE MY CHILD. In fact, he RECITES the Howard Beale speech with me.
(She's going to make her kid a mental case, too.)
Methinks Finkel did not pay close enough attention to my relationship with my child.
(Methinks he paid very close attention.)
