I’m pretty sure that the older you are, the better the #1 song was on the day of your birth. Mine is “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Diana Ross.

Let me bullet them for you:

• Sending children out of the kitchen
• Pressuring them to take a bite
• Keeping ‘good stuff’ out of reach
• Dieting in front of your children
• Serving boring vegetables
• Giving up too soon

Why can’t American papers write like the British ones? Just the first two paragraphs provide a great example of colorful English.

1. Aa. And I don’t mean the acronym for Alcoholics Anonymous, either. Aa is “basaltic lava having a rough surface.”

2. Qat – a flowering plant native to East Africa and the Arabian peninsula.

3. Zax – a slater or slate mason, or the tool used to cut and punch nail holes in roofing slate.

4. Cwm – a valley, especially one created by glacial movement. Be warned: this one won’t get you many points, but it is good for using up pesky, low-score consonants taking up valuable space on your rack.

5. Xu – Vietnamese money

6. Qua – as or as being, or in the character of.

7. Suq – a market, or part of a market, in an Arab city.

8. Adz – an axe-like tool.

9. Jo – sweetheart or dear

10. Qadi – a judge in the Muslim community.

This just might be the perfect blog:

• 52. Get to know your sister’s boyfriends. I’ll rely on your opinion.

• 58. Use the broiler. It’s an indoor grill.

• 94. Don’t show off. Impress.

• 120. Spend time with your mother. She’s cooler than you think.

• 138. Treat your body well. You’ll be glad you did when you are a dad.

Plus pictures and quotes!
