Now Im at Community Bookstore, spiritual home of the Park Slope mom, snooping on a situation I cant decipher: Jolly Harvard Dad is out in the back with 3 kids, watching them torture a couple turtles in the fish pond while chortling and making loud jokes. Put-Together Mom watches while ignoring him and quietly ranting about her allergies. She suddenly heads inside where she has a quick tete a tete with Older Euro Dad who, yes, is hiding in the childrens stacks. Weve got to get them reading! she hisses at him. Find them some books! He gives her a bland pat on the bum and a Look. Meanwhile, chortling reaches manic pitch. She heads outside. Receives another bum-pat.
