UNSENT

This is a letter to the editors of Entertainment Weekly that I wrote back in May, saved to a folder and promptly forgot about. So I resurrect it for you, gentle readers.

Dear Editor,

"Mazel Toddler," a piece about the clothing lines for Jewish newborns, quotes the creator of the "Bris Kit" as saying that the original prototype for the diaper was "embroidered with a Hebrew blessing, [but] the Orthodox community didn't want the word God anywhere near the butt."

My 30-something chick-flick trained brain knew that this was life imitating art: "They don't make Sunday." "Why?" "Because of God." (All you Harrys and Sallys out there know where I'm coming from.)
