@flaxen_vixen: That is one of my biggest fears for my daughter. Even if we were somehow destitute, reading would always be a shelter for her. She's almost two now and I keep looking for the signs. I just remind myself that I wasn't interested in books until I was about eight years old, so I will try to stave off the…

Best wishes, Tracie!

@ext212: Are those different dresses or one of those 7-in-1 deals?

I have always thought of men as dogs. In a good way. You are loving toward them, scratch 'em behind the ear, and pat 'em on the head and they're loyal forever and only want to please you. But this theory only works on normal, good men, not jerks who are never going to think of anyone but themselves—those are usually…

@langtry: CBS Sunday Morning is our family tradition now. Nothing like waffles and Charles Osgood!

@exelizabeth: I had a lot of trouble until I switched from IE to Firefox. It may help you.

@LadyNo Fondles Sweaters: I know women like that! There's one I specifically work with who is nearing 40. She uses a baby voice when someone asks her to think and giggles around men. It's awful. She needs to get a grip and stop her crushing on Zac Efron. What grown woman has a Zac Efron poster up in her office?!

Wow. I figured everyone felt like a Not Pretty Girl through childhood and then grew into themselves later on and realized their Pretty Girl-ness—no matter their looks.

@lippybug: I just figured everyone kind of knew he didn't exist, but that some people liked to pretend he did. That's probably how my parents presented it from the beginning, I don't remember. I've always been very live-and-let-live, so I never ruined it for anyone.

I cannot wait to get home today to start slipping some of these lies into my conversation with my daughter. These are awesome. I have material for years now!

Wow, I went through my archives and found nothing. My parents were very truthful about everything, no lies. Not even about Santa, Easter Bunny, or tooth fairy.

@indierockgrrrl: I figured after I thought about it for a minute. Guess my soul lies more south of the border than in my tongue.

Is "soul kissing" oral?

Exactly. And her awesomely beautiful bag has truly brought clarity to world events for me, I must say.

When I was 25, I volunteered to watch my 18-month-old niece for the day. By the end of that day, I was shaking, in tears, and exhausted. Could not wait to get away from her and swore never to have kids.

She looks great! I love it. I cannot wait until my daughter starts choosing her own wacky outfits that are entirely inappropriate. My mother never acted embarrassed when I did (still doesn't) and hope I can do the same for mine.

I had my one and only baby last year. My husband was present and holding one of my legs—he drew the line at cutting the cord. It was actually not that bad! Delivery was painful and bloody and I was afraid of even touching "down there" for about 36 hours.

For those wondering, Sally Struthers used to do those daytime TV ads where she would always say, "Do you wanna make more money? Sure, we all do." Then she would list about a million courses you could take. TV Repairman...Air Conditioning...Bookkeeping...High School Diploma. The company she shilled for changed names a…

@GretchenWeiners: Was it Time Windows?

I will freely admit that my company used to have a policy of hiring hot young girls. And that it's probably what got me in the door so young, but none of the other hot girls in the company have progressed as far and fast as I have. Two in particular are in the exact position they were in seven years ago and are still…
