What's the Difference Between a Palestinian Kid and an Israeli One?

JeanneSager — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:26:00 GMT

If you're looking for some trick answer here, I'm sorry to disappoint.

A simple but brilliant advertising campaign about tolerance in the Middle East sporting a nearly identical set of kids actually depicts two kids who share no blood. They've never even met.

But the Israeli girl looks an awful lot like the Palestinian boy beside her in the project put together by Belgian artist Olivier Suter as part of his series of "Enemies" advertisements. Meant to help people celebrate their differences, the project began in Belgium, where Suter asked people to compare a French and Flemish speaker. But it's a bit more poignant in the Middle East for obvious reasons (hello Gaza, West Bank, bombs . . . ).

Using kids is a genius move for equally obvious reasons. It's hard to look at the pictures and not think about allowing their fresh faces to make up for centuries of mistakes, about letting them just be kids. Or maybe that's just me. If you're dead set on destroying the "other kind," these pictures probably won't have much affect. But for those good souls have simply gotten caught up in the fervor of the crowd, the face of a child (or two children who look like one) may be just what it takes.

The kids, by the way, are named Hadas Maor (that's the Israeli girl) and Adam Shurati, who was a little upset to learn people thought he looked like a girl (come on, he's a little boy, he's allowed to bristle at this one). Adam's mom had his hair cut to help Suter with matching the kids. She thought the project was brilliant, as did Hadas' dad, a supporter of a "two-state" system that would allow for the peaceful co-existence of Palestinians and Israelis in the region.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 Premiere Snags 9.8 Million Viewers

Brett Singer — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:00:00 GMT

So you know this Kate Gosselin we've been hearing so much about? Mother, reality show star, husband may or may not be cheating on her? Lots of backlash against her?

After all the sturm und drang that the Gosselins have generated in recent weeks, you might think that would hurt their ratings. But you would be wrong.

The season premiere of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" was watched by 9.8 million people. That's not only the largest audience for a cable show on Monday. It was the largest audience for ANY show that evening.

People, negativity sells. Big time.

Yes, it was Memorial Day. But "Jon & Kate" isn't even on a network. It's on cable. Which means that not everyone -- most people, but not everyone -- can see the show. To me, this was an astonishing feat.

I have a confession to make. I don't watch "Jon & Kate Plus 8." I don't watch any reality shows regularly, which isn't a judgment on those of you that do. It's just not my thing. (If they could make a reality show with superheroes in it, that I might watch.) But all of the tabloid news has been oddly fascinating to me. I read the People Magazine article. Someone left a copy of US Weekly in my house and I read the "Jon & Kate" article. (Well, I started it. But I'll finish it.) And I have to admit that I might just check out a few minutes of the show.

Did you watch the "JK8" premiere? Did the recent scandals surrounding the couple make you more interested in the show?

Girl has Five Spleens, Two Left Lungs and Huge Grin

JeanneSager — Fri, 22 May 2009 15:27:00 GMT

I can only handle so many tragic medical stories involving kids in one week.

After the eight-year-old with ovarian cancer and the ten-year-old with breast cancer, I'd say Strollerderby has given you your quota this week. But this is a story you might want to read anyway.

Because six-year-old Bethany Jordan has the biggest grin I've seen on any kid.

They call her the Jigsaw Kid because she's "been pieced together" differently than anyone else, the markers of the rare Ivemark Syndrome which she was born with. She has five spleens and two left lungs. You can see her heart beat through the skin of her back, and her stomach is on the wrong side. Her heart had a hole in it when she was born, and her liver was backward.

OK, enough with the bad stuff.

Doctors thought she'd have Down Syndrome. She doesn't. They thought she'd be brain damaged. She isn't. They thought she'd never survive the birth. She's now six.

And just look at that cheese.

What's that they say about lemons and lemonade? I'll be sipping on this one all Memorial Day weekend.

Babies in Tuxedos

Brett Singer — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 15:00:00 GMT

I may be a cranky so-and-so but I'm also a bit of a mush. Case in point: these pictures of babies in tuxedos. They're cute. What can I tell ya? Try and look at these and not say "awww" at least once.

I had to add another one from TuxyBear.com because it was too cute to ignore. It's also a one-piece tux, which sounds complicated to invent. So I'm impressed, although I wonder how tough it would be to do an emergency diaper change with a one-piece tuxedo.

This one, from ClassicBabyTux.com, moves. Which makes it the winner.

Is It Ever Too Late for the Thank You Note?

JeanneSager — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:46:00 GMT

We do a lot as a family around this house. But the thank you notes? Somehow they landed in my court - for all three of us.

This year, I've rebelled. Instead of writing out sweet, thoughtful notes pretending to be my daughter and allowing her to make a scribbly mark at the bottom to signify they are from her, I've told her she has to draw pictures.

For everyone.

That's grandparents on both sides, her uncle, my aunts, friends from my work, friends from my husband's work, her teacher, the teacher's assistant . . . the amount of people who buy "just for the kids" means the pile of thank yous "from the kid" is still high. And we're not done.

It would be faster to sit down and write them myself, I know that. I could bang it all out one evening during Toot and Puddle. But it's high time that she learn there's a little more involved than just shouting "thank you" and rushing back to play with her toys. I'd also like to think that people will appreciate something from her that much more, and they'll be so impressed that they won't mind the wait. Will they?

It hasn't been a full month since Christmas, so we have, what, a week left? Two? Until Easter?

We're moving along at pre-schooler pace on the pile of pictures, but we'll get there. I'm just happy to report the birthday presents won't start rolling in until June.

Look-Alike Meter's Busting Family Fights

JeanneSager — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:33:00 GMT

Like most families (at least those with a photographer about), we have a house that's littered with pictures. That includes one of my favorites - my husband, circa the early eighties with a mop of brown hair.

So why, you might ask, does my mother continue to ask him if he was really blonde as a child? Ah, that would be my daughter - the towhead who I think looks a heckuva lot like I did when I was three.

Want to end that age-old argument over who they REALLY look like? The folks at MyHeritage.com have come up with the answer - the mash-up . . . sort of.

The Look-alike Meter lets you upload a mix of family pics (her with bad eighties glasses, him with bad eighties glasses, her with "the Rachel," him with a Vanilla Ice fade) plus one of that sweet little dumpling or one of the entire family. It took awhile - even on my usually speedy cable connection - but if you have a good picture of all three of you, with faces straight and facing forward, you can shave some time.

Using facial recognition software (so makes me feel like I've jumped into a "Law and Order: SVU" episode), the Look-alike Meter then makes its picks. It's cute, but rather unscientific (yeah, I was disappointed too). Without someone sitting there working with the photos, you can't expect a lot. After all, my daughter apparently looks more like me by a whopping five percent (so the blue eyes, blonde hair and my grandmother's forehead mean bupkus!).

But I don't have to tell my mother the five percent part, right?

Hey Mom, she looks like me!!

This came to me on a recent visit to the mall santa.

Moments before this picture my son was skittering about with a broad smile on his face. And then this happened. Satan always chooses the most inconvenient times to possess your child. Believe it or not, this was the best picture of the bunch.

Then I scoped the Internet for some more tasty pics and came up with these:

Ever place a restraining order against Santa?

What you don't know about this picture is Santa's legs are made of molten lava.

Santa is doing this as part of his community service.

Now it's your turn. I've started a Babble Playground group for you to post your bad Santa picture. You'll find the group HERE.
