NYMPHE: Childless, Childfree, Parent, Stepmom.

Let's Hear It for Aunties, Loud & Clear

For some bizarre reason, the New York Times won't allow commenting and conversation on this article. Too bad, because it might get some good stuff going!

The piece celebrates childless/childfree aunts. Yay, childless and childfree aunties! It's less snarcastic than my piece on the same subject was for Bust and Utne. It's nice. It's equal handed. Has a very strange ending that requires elaboration or, even better, should've been cut. Anyway, enjoy it here:

"Traffic" by Kristy Athens

Good writing and good illustration and good collage and yes it deals with what some people go through when they cannot have babies and remember we never know how things are going to work out, even the ones that seem to be happy endings.

Traffic.
