I hate when I write something and only after I have turned the document in do I think of a particularly witty line. (This is also very annoying when I'm arguing with someone and hours later a blistering zinger pops into my head. Actually, I think that's even worse.) This happened yesterday when I wrote a little article for Bugaboo Magazine about a new permanent exhibit on evolution that is at the American Museum of Natural History. Some additions to the collection are 3-D models of fossils that show what humans might have looked like way back when. What I should have written, but didn't think of until it was too late, was, "Like Joan Rivers, Lucy, a three million year old skeleton, got a new face."
Sure, the odds are high that it would have been edited out, but damn it cracks me up.

That is a good line and I would love to read something like that in a parenting magazine.
ReplyDeleteIt might hit too close to home for the readers of Bugaboo Magazine. But since we are not the magazine's readers, we will pretend it was there and continuously crack up.
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it, you can tell us anything you want about what's in there, and we'll never know if you're lying because we'll never check!
Love it. and I assume most of the readers would relate...
