Sign of the times




I can't look at this without thinking of my parents, back in the day. The idea of buying a plaything for us that said Brooklyn would have made them laugh their Brooklyn-born behinds off. The fact that it's become a popular kids' name surprises me just a little bit too. (Sorry, any parents of little Brooklyns out there. I guess my perspective is a bit skewed on this one from my early childhood in Flatbush -- now known as Kensington. Not a particularly glamorous set of associations. A little bit like naming your kid Corner Deli.)
