Think you're so smart and clever and coy and Ellie-winning, doncha, Gopnik? From this week's Talk of the Town:

The ten-year-old, hence to be called L., was there with his five-year-old sister, whom we'll label O.L. frankly being one for whom dinosaurs are, like, so over, and O. one for whom they are also, like, so over but still a source of some worrying uncertainty.

Yeah, we know, it's tough to interview kids looking at dinosaurs up at the Natural History Museum, what with them always demanding anonymity and so forth. Indeed, we were so impressed with this creative identity-protecting gambit (maybe Matt and Judi should try it!), that we pulled Paris to the Moon down from the bookshelf to re-admire your European handiwork. And we just happened to notice the last line of the dust-jacket author bio:

He now lives in New York with his wife, Martha Parker, and their two children, Luke and Olivia. (Emphasis added.)

Yup, that's us: Outing famous writers' kids. JO
