Embitterids Don't Smile?

As a teen I knew the words to most Frankie Valli songs. As regular readers know, I moved through the Jefferson Airplane/Starship (up to a point sometime after "Miracles") and on to Jimmy Buffett.

Frankie sang "Big Girls Don't Cry."

The older HLS implies that "Embitterids Don't Smile.'

I know better for a fact!

Good response to HLS. I couldn't see her smile, but I did feel the emotions in the delivery room, and I held her there too. She was very happy and content, and I feel that she did smile. It was an incredible experience. xoxoxo mamaj
 
daddy, your blog has brought out in you this very recursive, very meta way of communicating, and i applaud it. (i think, as mamaj might say, it's very deborah tannen of you.) but what in god's name do frankie valli and the starship have to do with smiling babies? or, perhaps more importantly, with bitter big girls, who mos def *do* cry?
 
HLS-At times I find irony, well "punny." and we know about me and puns...
