I enjoy your blog and your grammar is usually so good (much better than most blogs!) that I wanted to point this out so you can get it right next time. The headline for this story should be either "To Be Five Years Old" (no hyphens) or "To Be A Five-Year-Old" (compound noun with hyphens) or "To Be A Five-Year-Old Child" (compound adjective with hyphens).
I spent 16 years in the television business. I worked, by turns, as a writer, director, producer, casting associate, and the gal who gets everybody’s Starbucks order. Later, I spent time as a counselor at an outpatient program for adorable teens with un-adorable psych and addiction issues. Working in the orbit of actors, rock stars, comedians, and teenagers prepared me for my current gig as the stay-at-home mother of a kindergartner named Bob. Now, it’s like the circus has come to town everyday. I am living the dream.
Yeah, it is.

ReplyDeleteThanks for looking out for me, Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteYou're a pal.
Bob just articulated what every dog everywhere has been trying to tell us for years. Living in the moment. It's brilliant.
