The Kid turns 11 in January, he’s not a teen but he’s too old for, like, Bluey pajamas, and shopping seems like a trap at all times.

Rafaela's unconventional prep in the outfield — "He's an infielder at heart," says one coach — combined with his agility and acceleration have made him a Gold Glove candidate.

How disappointing. Couldn't schools teach at least one book from the 21st century? I read all but one of these in the 1990s. One thing I have looked forward to as a parent is reading new school books with my son, not having "The Great Gatsby" forced on me AGAIN. (I read it twice. Despised it twice.)
