Orange County Register

My parents — who live in the middle of nowhere an adorable little town just south of the Sequoias — are, in a word, awesome. We’re pretty much exactly the opposite: they drive big cars, they vote for the “other” party, they tease me over my concern for the planet and eating organic. But we’ve learned to tame our button-pushing.

They’re determined, however, to turn my boy into … well, a BOY. They’ve got fishing plans and ATV-riding plans and “let’s scare your mommy” lesson plans.

And already, they have this — a “boys car. errrrr,” as my mom’s text said.

SAM is for my boy, TYLER is for my brother’s new baby.

They will be boys. At least, if my parents have anything to say about it.
