Mr. Z was later overheard saying "I know you are, but what am I?"

My mom was the youth group coordinator at our church when I was a teenager. Some of the kids in the group sang at the mass and one of them, who had a different sense of style, wore long black gloves. There was a big meeting held with the parish council and my mom and they said that they wanted my mom to do something…

This always happens to "developed" girls. Which is awful, in that the way your body exists is not necessarily within one's control.

Except for the "Any woman who is willing can get laid" bit, I related to that a _lot_. Whoa...

I'm generally a useless liar, but then, nearly all old houses in my town have a hole next to the front door with a small ornate cast iron gate around it that looks like this:

Dolly, you are now, as ever, my idol.

When my kids were small I used to tell them all the time that if they were ever lost, ever taken, I would never stop looking for them. I stopped saying that to them as they got older - didn't seem as important. I'm going to say that to them tonight. And hug them. No one should ever go missing and have no one looking…

Being pregnant made me realize the importance of abortion access even more profoundly than before. Even though all my pregnancies have been welcomed (one was even specifically planned!), it is nevertheless an often uncomfortable, mental and physical takeover. Additionally, being a parent irrevocably changes your life…

no lie, I saw a "laters, baby" BUMPERSTICKER in the lot at Petsmart and had to explain it to my mom b/c I was laughing so hard.

I would pay good money plus some of those mini donuts to go see "Racistbusters".

Is the "post pictures of your pet" thread? Because... BOOM!

So much on litter! And canned food. But completely worth it. The few years I spent petless were ok, but they add such a great dimension to life. I think pets should be prescribed for stress relief and tax deductible. Love my boys. Who could resist those faces?

My rule of thumb for gentrification, once your neighborhood gets a dog bakery, it's gentrified

That makes perfect sense. I use Pinterest to catalog recipes and interior design concepts that catch my eye, but the rest of it is terrible. Everyone is white and blonde and obsessed with weddings, babies, losing weight, 30-day squat challenges, outfits that always manage to combine chevron print/riding boots/mint and…

Tiana's my personal fave! Loved her and the fact she was relatively "independent", even at five :D

Alicia Silverstone, this word 'kind' does not mean what you think it does....

Just don't do it.

This is our bunny Samus. We bought him at a feed store, so he probably was going to be meat. They swore he was a she, and my daughter phoned me in tears when his balls dropped. My daughter takes him into the yard for some hopping time, but he usually just humps the cat.
