In Style and the Mintz

This morning, after breakfast, Julia spent some time flipping through Auntie Caitlyn's "In Style" fashion magazine at the dining room table.

JULIA: Auntie Caitlyn?  Auntie Shannon told me that you used to WORK at this magazine.
CAITLYN: I did!  My name used to be listed at the front.
JULIA: Really??  (thoughtful) What kind of POSES did you do?

Auntie Caitlyn tried to explain that she had been a writer for the magazine, not one of the models.  Julia didn't quite seem to grasp the concept.

JULIA: (pointing at the cover photo) So were you kind of like Julia Roberts??

Perhaps Auntie Caitlyn should have explained it like this: "Julia, I wasn't famous for being, like, a pop star, I was famous for being, like, Abigail Adams or the Underground Railroad or something."

I'm surprised that Julia didn't quickly understand that Auntie Caitlyn had been employed as a writer for the magazine, seeing as Julia herself is quite the author.  Today she started a brand new book, and has already written up to chapter 2.  To pique your interest, I will give you a sneak peak at the introduction to this book:

JULIA ROWE
THE MINTZ

Chapter One: The Mintz
"Before you read this book you must meet the Mintz. 
Maz is the kind of boy who loves everyone.  Jastina can always be trusted (But can be funny sometimes!)  Jessica is eighteen and can be trusted.  Lilly is the same as Jastina."

"Julianna is cute and funny in the same way.  Zoie, who is three, is awflly cute.  Astr Mintz, who's real name is Astred, loves knowing exactly what her kids are doing.  And Jasper Mintz is all fun.  Now you know the Mintz.  Now you can begin this storey."


Okay, blog readers.  Admit it.  You are SUCKED IN already and can't wait to learn more about the Mintz family.  I can assure you that the author continues to work hard writing further chapters of this delightful book!  Place your advance orders now!
