Angelina Jolie Pregnant with Alien Sextuplets!

How odd it must be to read all kinds of crazy stories about yourself in the news every day.
Celeb Baby Laundry reports on the story that’s been circulating about the latest maybe possible Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt baby, or excuse me—babies. Twin boys to be exact.
Umm…twin boys? You think Angelina might be showing a little by now?
And don’t forget the story about the maybe or possible or you never know they might even be getting married this summer “in a small but stylish ceremony at their 16th-century French château.”
And, you know, “insiders insist that, this time, it’s really happening.”
I can understand people getting all star-freaky over celebrity stories, but the speculated ones that we know are just wild fabrications of some story-hungry reporter?
I mean, why not just make up totally outrageous stories then?!
Like, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt expecting sextuplet alien babies!
Or, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt declare they won’t marry until there is world peace!

Practicing Not Being Judgmental with Brad Pitt

I was thinking about this quote from Babyrazzi I read from Brad Pitt in which he talks about what he does to get his children moving in the morning.
“I admit there’s times like, ‘We gotta get up. Get up! ‘Here’s your shoes. Here’s your shoes. Drink this Coke. Drink this Coca-Cola. Drink it all. Right now! Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!’ Just so we could get ‘em up and going.”
At first I had this totally judgmental reaction where I was like—oh no, he didn’t!

Doesn’t he know how bad caffeine and sugar are for kids? And in the morning? What is he crazy?!

And then the next jump my judgmental parenting brain took was, wow, I’m a better parent than Brad Pitt! And I’ll admit I felt a little superior—than Brad Pitt, folks!

My daughter, who is seven, has only tried a sip of soda maybe three times in her life. My three-year-old doesn’t even know what soda is!

And then I heard myself and I was like, oh no, Sheila. I’m all about not judging. So then I had some work to do because I really don’t think soda is good for kids. I mean, like, it’s not just not good—it’s bad! And I know that’s a fact.

So how do I sit back and say, oh, okay, Brad, feed your kids soda in the morning?!

I tried to put myself in someone else’s shoes if they heard something I do with my kids that they totally disagree with. Could I find something so heinous as plying my kids with sugar and caffeine?

Umm, I do yell at my kids sometimes when I lose my temper and that’s pretty bad.

I wonder if Brad yells?

If not, maybe we’re even.

Oh, and then I also had the thought, maybe he was just joking?

Or!

Maybe he said this to somebody he wasn’t sure if they were really a friend or just nice to him because he’s famous to see if it would show up in the tabloids!
