Weiner whiner

I read Alex Witchell’s profile of “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner in the NYT Magazine and then wrote this in response:

As far as I can tell, there are families like the Weiners, and then there’s the rest of us.

One family gathers around its artfully distressed oak dining table and banters knowingly and wittily about great films, classic books, and favorite operas.

The rest of us huddle at our Ikea specials and say things like, “What did we say about fart jokes at the table?”

Read the whole thing, and tell me if I come off as too hard on my kids.
