Mine too! She was wearing a shorter shirt than her larger friend who got coded and told the teacher they were being unfair. When the teacher ignored her she followed them to the office and tried to turn herself in. Luckily the dean ended up just rolling her eyes and sending them both away.

What is it with male gym teachers and girls’ clothes? I went to my gym teacher in a crisis situation in 9th grade. I was hysterical because my bf had threatened to kill himself when I told him I’d found out I was moving out of town. As he escorted me to the office to talk to the counselor he gestured to my spaghetti…

I offered to remove my bra one day in high school when my teacher pointed out a strap showing. My shirt met dress code, three fingers wide at the shoulder, but my then-F-cup bra had thick wide straps so they peaked sometimes. It was May in Arizona and already well over 90 degrees out with crappy AC in our rooms.…

Yes! I was a D cup by the end of 6th grade and not at all comfortable with my breasts. On top of that, I have an extremely hour glass figure and was painfully aware even then of what kind of attention that gets. I dressed to hide my figure, and that meant a lot of baggy untucked shirts. I didn’t care about being…

I mean, it just seems logical, right? We have a 50lb Aussie shepherd mix who just doesn’t care much about other dogs. He’ll play with our small dog and my parents’ retriever, but otherwise he isn’t interested and will get cranky if pestered. So we stopped taking him to the dog park. He never needed to do more than…

If I thought you were really arguing I probably would have just rolled my eyes and moved on, but you did sincerely come across as having conflicted feelings you wanted to hash out. Honestly, I think that’s a great place to be. I hear and understand your concerns, but also whole-heartedly support Harvard’s decision.

If we look at this as a punishment to the students, I can see where you’re coming from. The way I see this situation though is that the university learned information about newly-accepted applicants that changed the board’s mind about their acceptance. Had these views come to the attention of the acceptance board…

Firing squad!

Wait, is this not how you live your life? Traitor! Someone should call homeland security.

Hell, doesn’t Jessica Simpson have her own line of clip-ins?

Whatever makes a person not act like a dick, I guess.

Fuck them, indeed. They’re ugly, twisted people. I had a similar experience as your sister in that no one knew until I was literally in labor. Just a few weeks prior, my step-grandmother had actually been praising me on how thin I looked (barf). Of course, after I had the baby and my parents told her they hadn’t known…

Your comment just reminded me that there’s a brief window after the kid gets out of school and before the husband starts his new job and we have to make bowling happen. Then home for underwear and White Russians.

I go this shit so much after I had my daughter at 16. I finally lost it and yelled at some busybody “well I didn’t have an abortion, shouldn’t you be happy about that!?” They didn’t take it well.

Nice. They’re so great, aren’t they? I’d picked mine up from an older friend the year before. I have a very German maiden name, so she figured I should know at least a little.

This shit sticks!

I actually got the solo in that performance because I had some experience speaking German and could nail the pronunciation. Prior to learning the song, however, my German vocabulary was limited to vulgar slurs and insults.

I had to sing Silent Night in German for a concert in 8th grade, nearly 20 years ago, and I still remember every word of that shit. Come on, Beiber.

And there’s at least one every cycle. “This is our precious daughter who has never heard a negative word in her life. She has nothing to do with our act, but she’s going to stand at the edge of the stage right in front of camera four.”

That is so cool and I’m jealous! I used to have a Land Before Time poster my uncle got for me pretty much the same way. He asked a manager after we’d seen the movie and he saw how much I loved it and they thought it was so sweet they smuggled one out for us. I wish to hell I still had it, but I think my mom…
