Jim Carrey Loves Jenny McCarthy's Son: Talking to an autistic child -- especially one who is not your own -- can be a difficult, but Jim Carrey, 46, says his life changed when he met Evan Joseph, the six-year-old son of Jenny McCarthy, 35, in early 2006. Celebritybabies says Jim realized that autistic kids, "show us how to go somewhere deeper as far as loving." Jim says, "I knew it was something important in my life. These children, we need them more than they need us. They're here for us to learn."
Mom's First Wax: The Meanestmom recants the horror of getting one's first at-home wax at age "over 30". Writer Jana describes her unsuccessful attempts to wax her armpit hair four times before ending up with pink sticky armpits and removing the wax with liquid soap, vegetable oil, a toothbrush, and a husband who can't understand why anyone would apply wax on such a small square footage of skin.
People and Parades: If you live in a small town, you may relate to this: Mom2ways lists "Parade Etiquette", a humorous list of complaints such as creating a no smoking section and cleaning up after yourself. Yay for hometown pride, nay for bad manners. .
