charliesmumThat book is based on a true story. The penguins actually exist and live in the Central Park Zoo! The two boy penguins mated with each other, basically, and then put a rock into a nest, hoping it would hatch out a baby, so the zoo put a fertilized egg in their nest, and they got their wish.
I bought the book for Charlie as a Christmas gift. I can't wait to read it.
In sadder news, although still speaking of same-sex parents, the foster kids are officially gone. My friend said she was okay until a kindergardener saw her and said, "I know you! You're Amber's Mom!"
Thanks for all your kind words on their behalf. I just pray that the kids will be okay.
And, just to lighten the mood, a quick Charlie story:
The other night he was talking about wanting this wall mural of the view of Earth from the moon. (I just spent way too much time trying to find it online, and couldn't. grr).
I told him I wasn't sure he had the wall space to do it, then I said it could maybe go behind his dresser with the mirror. He misunderstood, I guess, and thought I was saying we'd take down the mirror, so he said, "How will I be able to see how handsome I am?"
