Look, I know that Ken has always been the one to get the attention in this family. I always joke that I am the Jackie to his John. But I have now determined that I am not even some random mistress when it comes to how much more important he is to the world than I am. Even my John John and Caroline (Sorry boys, you will have to fight over who gets to be the boy) don't warrant the same kind of attention.
My latest case and point. The kite festival. We attended the annual event a couple weekends ago where we all as a family flew kites. I flew a kite, Ken flew kites, even the boys held on for a while. In fact, long enough in which this reporter came around and took pics of my family. She took pics of my two kids, who let's face it, are like the cutest kids on the planet. No, I am not biased, just telling it like it is. Any hoo, so they have pics of cute blond haired, blue eyed boys, flying the kite on the beach. Can we say poster kids for Redondo Beach? So I assumed when I got the Beach Reporter from last week, I would see my children smiling back at me.
Not so much.
In fact, there were only 3 measly pics of the event. One of this awesome black and white kite with a killer tail. Some yahoo looking at his parrot kite, and oh yes, this one guy. He looked familiar. Hmm...Oh wait, it was Ken!!!
Needless to say, I screamed a bit, much to the delight of everyone in the house. I just couldn't understand it. Look, I adore my husband, and I think he is a hottie, but he isn't exactly the beach look with his all black clothes and the surly facial hair. If anything, he is the opposite of beach.
But the argument gets worse. Not only is Ken in the pic, but the only two pics of people are people NOT EVEN FLYING KITES!! Sure, one kite is flying, but no flyer. Other two? Kites not in the air. Don't even get me started on the fact that they called Ken's yellow airplane kite the Red Baron, or the fact that this was one of the kites we never got in the air.
I assumed maybe they just took a ton and only published a few pics in the paper itself. So I look it up and find that there is a pic on the site. In fact, only one. The one of Ken!!!!!!
Look, I love that Ken gets to be famous. But honestly, I was hoping that maybe the boys could share the spotlight once in a while. I know it is not Ken's doing, but I do question the folks over at the Beach Reporter. Seriously, I would imagine most readers would want to see the kids being kids, not the grownups stealing their thunder.
Although, in all fairness, I would have probably yelled if they showed other kids because I would have said mine were still cuter.
