Twaddle of the First Degree

In their spare time, my kids have been keeping themselves endlessly and ridiculously amused with these Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head Cut-Outs that I created for Gavriel Zev. Turns out Naomi likes them, too, because she can make “Mrs. P.” as fancy and colourful as she likes.

So I decided to share it as a printable, even though it’s made up of bits and pieces scavenged from all over the Internet. If any of these graphics belong to you, I apologize, but assure you that I am not making the least bit of profit or even having much fun making them available to my admiring public. Just trying to spread the paper-wastin’ love…

There are three pages: one with the potato “body shape” outline, one with generic / “Mr.” parts, and one with “Mrs.”parts.

If your kids request something else – a party hat or beard or whatever, just Google it and print one out that’s about the right size! Gavriel Zev has actually been having a great time pasting socks from the sock-match activity that goes with the poem “Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling” in Literature Pockets: Nursery Rhymes.

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
