It Takes a Village

A few months ago, with summer quickly approaching, I was researching summer camps for my daughter, Devin. I can't be having my kids around all summer long. As Hilary Clinton said, "It takes a village to raise a child". I really take that to heart and as a result there are many villagers who care for my kids. 

I go to the obvious place to get information, my bible, People Magazine. Of course I immediately find the perfect place, especially for this soccer mom. 

All I had to read was that little Maddox Jolie-Pitt goes to The David Beckham Soccer Academy which is not far from my house. DONE DEAL! That's all I need to know. 

Maddox and Devin will be best friends, then start dating, then get married and have beautiful little multi-racial children. That means that my grandkids will raise my social status exponentially! Everyone knows that multi-racial children are a must-have. Just ask Madonna or Meg Ryan. (I was going to say that multi-racial kids where the new black, but I thought that might come off wrong.)

Wait a minute! How did I get from summer camps for a seven year old, to grandkids? Back on topic, I decided not to enroll Devin in that soccer camp because the next People Magazine informed me that the Jolie-Pitt clan was in France this summer. Maybe next year for the whole David Beckham thing. Besides, I hear that Gwen Stefani's son is going to chess camp this summer. Devin will learn to love it!
