To simplify matters, I’ve decided to use the same code-names on OTBKB that I use for my husband, son, and daughter  in my Brooklyn Papers column (SMARTMOM) and in my Third Street blog.

Here are some of the cast of characters:

Hepcat: My husband
Teen Spirit: My 14-year-old son.
OSFO: AKA The Oh So Feisty One, my 8-year-old daughter.
Smartmom: me
Diaper Diva: my sister
Ducky: my neice
Bro-in-law: Brother-in-law
Manhattan Granny: My mother
Groovy Grandpa: My father
MiMa Cat: My stepmother
