Opinion | The Art of Strewing: Sneakily inspiring kids to pick up what we’re putting down
I’ve been married to a dedicated minimalist for more than 30 years. Tyler feels a deep affinity for Edina Monsoon of “Absolutely Fabulous” during her monologue about “not wanting things on places!” And can be heard channeling her periodically when dealing with my copious piles: “Surfaces, darling!” He is eternally hopeful that our living space will one day echo with blissful nothingness, and he’ll be able to sit in a room with one chair and an orchid.

Holding the line: Raising teenagers without forgetting to breathe
I was raised within the benign neglect, feral-or-bust 1970s school of parenting. My friends and I had free reign to wear the same grubby clothing all summer, subsist on Popeye candy cigarettes, hose water and freezies and ride our (too big) bikes barefoot pretty much anywhere we had the stamina to go.

will New Zealand's plain language law finally make bureaucrats talk like normal people?
Which sentence is easier to understand? “He was conveyed to his place of residence in an intoxicated condition.” Or, “He was carried home drunk.” Most people choose the latter, for obvious reasons. This century-old example is a useful illustration of how “plain language” can be used to communicate more clearly, from everyday interactions right through to government documents.
