"Mommy, who is Kim Kardashian?" she asked. "Is she a tennis player?"
My husband and I high-fived each other with our brains, and said in unison, "No, honey, you must mean Kim Clijsters." We went on about how admirable Clijsters is. "She is a professional tennis player and a mom, and she retired for the second time this year." (The second sentence was not spoken in unison.)

| Yay, Kim Clijsters! |
She'll find out eventually, but not from us.
The other day I overheard my almost five year old son and two of his buddies (one boy, one girl) discussing how much they love Justin Bieber. I was, of course, horrified, and felt like a failure for not sheltering him better. As their conversation progressed, I realized they thought that "Justin Bieber" was the name of a chicken in an animated movie. I've never felt such relief.
