Who Wants to Cry? My mother’s latest column. – LBF
So, it’s my job to make you laugh.
But my mother?
She’s been making people sob at their kitchen tables for DECADES as a writer for the Boston Herald and now the Boston Globe.
In fact, when I wrote for the Herald (#nepotism), I sat next to the Sunday copy desk and, more often than not, I’d hear a copy editor yell to me: “OH MY GOD LAUREN, YOUR MOTHER IS KILLING ME” followed by that person blowing her nose and wiping tears from her eyes.
This column is one of those.

Lauren writes about trending topics, New England destinations, and seasonal DIY.
