Children, School, Twitter, Nudes in Chyberspace

        We went to Sidney's yesterday for Mother's day.  The twins were wild.  They are 18 months and all over the place, climbing, walking, talking, eating, grabbing.  Jordan has been very busy with work and the twins.  It is all she does.  Susan and Tom were also there as was Sylvia, Sidneys friend who recently sold her house in Cobble Hill and bought another one further out by the new Whole Foods.  The talk went to schools, Montesori, having grandparents in their 80's,  and teenagers.  Sylvia said that these two girls sent nude photos of themselves to a boy in their class on Twitter.  He was photo shopped into the photo and it went all around the school.  This is just 8th graders! It was quite a big deal the the young man wound up getting expelled. 
           Sidney has finished the remodel on her house and it putting it up for rent-15,000 a month.  She got the stairs straightened but the bannister is not up to code, it's too short.  What happened is they fixed the bannister, but had to make the spindles shorter and when you walk up the stairs you notice that your arm doesn't quite hit the right height.  Her agent, a mother from school, said that they'd have to disclose that situation.  It's not easy renting and showing a house.
           Nothing is easy, children are fragile, and we all are just trying to survive.
