Glad You Asked: Weekend Edition
Posted By Colin Wolf on November 16, 2012, 1:00 PM
Dear GYA, Somehow, my 8-year-old found out about the Elmo scandal. Which is fine, but I'm having a hard time answering all her questions. Like, I tried explaining it using sock puppets yesterday and I only made it worse. Is there anything happening this weekend that's non-puppet related? That way I can avoid the topic entirely. - Daria Frenkel, Ogden---
