Why it's time
for Mothers Who Think

This Month's Drama Queen Candidates:

What gives? You think the editors of Mothers Who Think run this Drama Queen contest every month for our own entertainment? Well, in fact, we do. What else are we going to do after spending our days e-mailing our co-workers to find out who has candy in their desks or calling up publishers with bogus requests for review copies of books we're just going to give to our relatives for Christmas or strolling purposefully past the cubicles of the single men in the business department? Huh?

Well, we're going to read your submissions to this contest, that's what! And what we expect, month after month, is dogs with indigestion and leaky diapers and Vaseline smeared all over brand-new bedspreads. And here you all go, getting wistful on us.

OK, fine. We can do it your way. This time. Just don't forget to vote.
