Tattoed love boys

Here’s the good thing about being an Aunt: you can cover your nephews with superhero tattoos.

And you don’t have to worry about them going to school, because they aren’t your kids.

I wholeheartedly agree.

I covered my nephews arm with a huge lizard tattoo a number of years ago careful to put it so you couldn’t see it when he was wearing a t-shirt. That next day at school in gym he fell hurting the same arm and when he went to see the school nurse she lifted his sleeve to see this big green tattoo. The nurse asked my sister what was going on and she had to just blame it on “uncle disease”.*

You should go listen to this NPR interview with Liz Phair on the 15th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville. Go listen, now. Seriously. Go. She talks about the whole Exile on Mainstreet/Guyville thing. It's fascinating. [+]
