Weaning was really depressing for me, too. I think it's partly the fact that you're not getting your daily dose of oxytocin from nursing. The hormone shifts that happen when you wean are no joke.

I was a "stupid teenager." I never threatened to hurt anyone. I never told someone I was going to blow up an airplane. If you're old enough to operate a Twitter account, you're old enough to know better.

This. I know some people are saying it's fine, more people should do it to protest airport security, etc., but really, calling in bomb threats is not okay. No matter what medium you use to do it or what kind of facility you target. It's scary and it's a giant waste of resources because you really do have to

I've been flying as an adult since the 1990s. It has never, never, never been okay to joke about having a bomb in an airport. Airport security has always been required to take every such statement seriously. I do not know how anyone does not know this.

No RIP about it: We still get the J. Peterman catalog. The descriptions are still awesome.

I have to admit— I own the 1947 dress in multiple colors, and it rocks. It's actually quite fitted through the torso, but with a full, swingy skirt, and it really is super-flattering. Plus, I would dress like a 1940s movie all the time if I could, and it's just the right amount of retro-but-not-costumey. You just

Given that she eats several pineapples at a go, I can pretty much guarantee that she is not full of shit for long.

The three pounds of apricots would take care of the constipation, I think.

She eats three pounds of apricots at a time. I'd call that "purging behavior."

This. It's really, really impressive.

My daughter has that outfit (the navy-and-white polka dot dress with the pink shirt underneath). Go Carters!

No joke. I have a pixie, and my daughter still manages to get big handfuls of hair and pull (hard!).

Maglite flashlights had an ad in which a Maglite was put on the road and run over by a semi-truck, after which it still worked. I immediately had to have one.

I don't get how you can admit that being in one wedding was "quite pricey," and you needed financial help from your mother to pay for the bridal shower; and that for the other wedding you were so broke that someone else had to pay for your hair and give you a free place to stay, and in the same breath say that it is

Eh. I had one bridesmaid. She picked out her own dress. There was zero drama, and we are still good friends. She even asked me to be her MOH. It happens, but it only happens if all the people involved are normal. (My friend's wedding, BTW, was fine—there was one bridesmaid who was a total PITA and attempted to

You probably will. I, too, said that my kid would never see a screen. Then we went out to dinner with friends and the food was taking an extra-long time to come, and she was 15 months old, so talking to her and engaging with her was of limited utility. And it was cold outside and there wasn't room in the restaurant

Nine bridesmaids. Spent a fortune I didn't have. Should have dropped out when two bridesmaids and the bride started crying while we were picking out dresses. It really only went downhill from there.

One wedding I was in, the bride's mom actually made the dresses (they were awesome). Another, the bride paid half the cost. The third, the bridesmaids paid, but we each got to choose our own dress and color.

Yep, basically. According to the CDC, giving a birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine is a good idea because:

Ellie, that pop quiz is amazing. Amazing.
