A clearer point of view

I had one of those special mummy moments today, when you just have to sit back and marvel at the beautiful insight of children.
On seeing two men kissing in the park, Ruby gave me a big smile and said, "Look, Mummy, those men love each other." It didn't occur to her that there was anything different about the scene, or that it was comment-worthy for any reason other than to... -

Nothing entertains me quite as much as the things Ruby comes out with.
We were walking in Central Park the other day when we saw a man dancing in the middle of the road. No music or anything - just rocking out to whatever track was playing inside his head. To be honest, I didn't even look twice. You get a lot of that sort of thing out here and even... -

My best friend went to view it for me the morning...

I have clocked up a lot of hours at my computer over the last few weeks sifting through Craig's list for apartment listings. It's a gruelling job. There are literally thousands of apartments, but the number that I can actually afford is significantly smaller, and the ones of those that look as though they might actually be suitable is smaller still. Half the issue is that I need a bedroom....

I have a secret to tell you. I've been keeping it under my hat until I could be sure it would happen, but now my flights are booked and there's no going back, so I can finally announce that on September 29th Ruby and I will be leaving for six months in New York.
Honestly, I am terrified, but I have never been so excited in my life. This is a...
