They're Serious


This New Zealand couple wants to name their 2-month baby "4Real". They decided on the name after first seeing an ultrasound of their son, when they realized that their baby was "for real." The government has refused the registry, claiming that names cannot include numericals. The Wheatons plan to name the boy "Superman" instead, but call him "4Real" as a nickname.

Ma Réalité


The people who currently understand me best are three and three quarters and five years old. We are scary monsters. A "belly massage" is code for a tickle attack. We make funny faces to cheer each other up. We dance wildly to Raffi and fall asleep on pillows on the floor. This is our reality. Would I trade it? Only for my own children.
