Not Those Eggs!

To express camaraderie with the rising political star AOC, Mrs. Grundy has been tempted to confide the Grundy family planning history. Tempted but not convinced, as it is unclear anyone needs to know such intimate details about someone not living under the same roof. 

Nonetheless, how can Mrs. Grundy not support this political trendsetter, who has bravely revealed that she will freeze her unfertilized eggs? Rarely has such courage been evident in one so young. Only the most grizzled cynic would confuse her humble nod to privilege and newly flexible policy views with her voracious ambition.

And yet, not all eggs are meant to be frozen. And so Mrs. Grundy stands guard over the award-winning Grundy Farm Grade A, to prevent philistine mischief in the frozen food aisle. 

Further, AOC is not only willing to endure this voluntary and expensive egg-freezing process, she will graciously catalog her ordeal for all and sundry. Thusly, she will carry the burden of both sage and celebrity. Sisyphus’s eternal stone could not be so heavy.

Mrs. Grundy would normally view this sort of personal disclosure as an extraordinary breach of discretion and decorum. She puts that aside now to consider the unintended benefits.

To wit, Mrs. Grundy believes the American People will be reassured that, despite profound divisions between the political parties, national leaders on both sides share a deep and common bond of narcissism.

Mrs. Grundy Thinks Moderns will also find consolation in the fact that, although current political leaders represent multiple generations and ideologies, they share genuine misunderstanding of the real concerns of ordinary people. Indeed.
