one thing that i should probably have clarified with my parents when i told them i was going to have a column in an actual publication is that it wasn't going to be a medical column.
how does one explain that one's column will be about . . . nothing?
just yesterday, at the dinner table, my mother asked me, "so is your column going to be limited to health articles?"
"mmmhhh. it's not a health column, ma."
"what? so what will it be about?" my mother asked, with trepidation in her voice.
"it's just supposed to be funny," i whispered while scrambling away from the person who, 31 years ago, had to carry me in her womb for 9 months.
maybe i should use a pseudonym.
