I swear Mom! I was just reading the paper!!
So, it turns out my mom reads this blog.
Everyone say hi!
Oh, and she also got me a subscription to the Sunday New York Times. I have a minor addiction to 6.50 papers where the crossword takes me a week to figure out. I suppose it's better than crack...
And here I was, just reading through the New York Times Magazine from a few weeks ago(I'm a little behind), and what do I see????
An article on poly-lifestyles
Ok, not a whole article, but there it was, in the freaking New York Times Sunday Magazine, the one with little kids jumping up and down on the cover.
A little tidbit about the current president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy,
his super-hot wife Carla Bruni,
and her little comment about monagamy, polyandry, poligamy, and polygny. They forgot polyamory, but we'll forgive them.
Let's define some terms...
Monagamy= 1 person committed to another person, regardless of gender
Polygamy= A man OR woman who marries more than one man or woman (depending on the country...)
Polyandry= the one up above
(One woman, many men)
Polygyny= the one over there (one man,
many women)
Polyamory=Means many loves. You love more than one person, or your group consists of many people in love.
And all this can be learned in the NYT on a Sunday between 29 across and 3 down!
