A Pulitzer?

Gene Weingarten won a Pulitzer for feature writing, for an article about parents who accidentally kill their children by forgetting them in cars.  A Pulitzer Prize.  A Pulitzer Prize

A Pulitzer he won.  For what?  For telling us about the lives of people who accidentally kill their children?  Whaaaat?

If I won for this article, my mother wouldn’t be able to tell anyone.  She would have put her head in the oven.  She would think, couldn’t you write about world peace, environmental concerns, something other than dead children and the parents who kill them?

Of course, now I am scared that I caused the evil eye to look upon my family and me.

(But, really, a Pulitzer?  Really?)
