Kids R Us

Klair with a K and no E

I met Klair on the swing set at Plummer Park.

“Hi,” she said.

“Hello,” I smiled.

“How old are you?” she asked, shuffling her feet against the ground.

“27,” I said.

She looked at me with exclamation point eyes. “Why are you here?”

I told her about the zine convention I was attending and how I overestimated the time it would take to get there. We had time to kill, I explained. Then I pointed to Rama, who was lying face down on the hand ladder.

“You guys are being kids today, aren’t you?” she asked.

“Oh,” I said, “We’re kids every day.”

 


  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
    I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
