Meta Metropolitan Diary: Just Add Kids

Metropolitan Diary jumps the shark:

On a recent Sunday afternoon the following scene unfolded on an uptown bus: A mother, her sons (each about 6 years old) and their aunt boarded the bus. The boys sat with their mom across from their aunt. The dark-haired boy began a continuous complaint about wanting to take a taxi, NOT a bus. This tirade continued for several blocks, prompting the light-haired boy to cross over and sit with his aunt.

Finally, the aunt spoke up and said, “Henry, there’s someone on this bus listening carefully to what you’re saying and on one of these coming Monday mornings, we will be reading about this scene in the Metropolitan Diary.” Smiles crept across both boys’ faces.
