Only the Glossy Survive, Kids

I read the Freakonomics blog daily because I like knowing that the US Department of Transportation plants lilacs to measure when spring begins or that more people have vasectomies in a bad economy. I’m not thrilled by the news that young girls who wear makeup are significantly happier and earn more as adults than their peers who don’t wear lipstick or blush. My own daughter left the house this morning looking like a clown. My wife was ecstatic; I was appalled. My wife said, “Let’s have another before I’m 40.” In this economy?

I made my vasectomy appointment this morning.
