I was puzzled too by the desparate need for pity poor Caitlin strives for. I mean, yes, 7th grade can be tender for a young woman, but it's not like her mom joined the foreign service. I assume she was home occasionally.
Also, the girl with uncombed hair? Um, was there something preventing her from picking up a brush? My six year old makes her own lunch for crying out loud. (No, I don't feel guilty about that- just proud). I guess apocryphal stories don't make the best evidence.
Personally, I'm horrified that a magazine founded in part by the great Dorthy Parker sees fit to publish this bitch. I just wish I could see Mrs. Parker rip her a new one.
