Practical Parenting, with Gwyneth Paltrow
By raincoaster
Gwyneth Paltrow is nothing short of a modern-day Renaissance Woman, a 21st-Century cross between Eleanor Roosevelt, Florence Nightingale, and Queen Marie of Romania. Only hotter, and waaaaaaaaaaay better dressed. If you doubt it, simply ask her, as the delightfully devilish Craig Brown did in the new issue of Vanity Fair. Here we excerpt her Goop-worthy tips on motherhood:

I love film. After a yummy meal for the whole family and some truly great friends, we often go out to see something beautiful and unique.
Here’s a tip for all moms. Never ask young children to pay when you go out to the movie theater. It is simply unfair to ask a four-year-old to pay for herself.
Why not give her the trip as a very special present? That way, you—and she—can learn so much more about what it is to love and to give. Repayment can come later.
Next week, we learn to ride a bicycle with a world-expert bicycle nutritionist.

Looking at the article closely, it appears to be a joke. I really hope its a joke.

If this isn’t a joke, I may hurl!

It must be a Gwyneth joke–after all, it’s absolutely unfunny, and semi-comprehensible. Sounds like her “sense of humor” to me.

I agree, this must be a joke.
