@chinaplate: Rabbi Sacks says that Europe is the only region in the world with a declining population rate. I guess Japan isn't big enough to be a "region"? Because they aren't having babies there either. #reproductivejustice

I don't understand why people have issues with "ma'am" if men are referred to as "sir." #younglady
I wanted to be like Oscar when I was a kid. I mean, the grouch has a huge underground mansion (never really got the pet elephant part, but whatever)! #sesamestreetanniversary
You know what the scary thing is? I heard that Elmo was introduced in the mid-80s. This means the kids who were first exposed to Elmo are in their mid-to-late 20s and are starting to have kids of their own!
@snark_shark: I'm a little mad at the Cookie Monster/Veggie Monster thing too. Cookie Monster relies on cookies because his species relies on them to survive. Carrots and celery might do more harm for him than good! #sesamestreet
@veronykah: It was a 2 year jump between season 1 and 2, but I believe only 5 or so months between season 2 and 3. Maybe it'll only be a two month jump...to the Monday after the Beatles' appearance on Ed Sullivan. #openthread
GO LANE! #openthread
You know, I'm not sure if either one of them are fit parents. #openthread
Wow. #openthread
Oh: Valley Girl Baby - "like-WAHHHHH! like-WAHHHHHH!!"
So in Cantonese, the baby says Ai-YAHHHHHHH!!!! Ai-YAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! ??? #babiescryinmothersaccent
@twinkette: I probably looked around 12 when I was 15/16. I think looking young was partly the reason why no one hit on me until I was 18 or so. #kidstoday
@laetitiae: 12-13 year olds can marry where you are? Here, you have to be 16. And even then, you need permission from parents/guardians. You can, of course, make your own decision at 18. #kidstoday
If these kids aren't in school 60% of the time, I hope that the Jai Ho foundation finds them tutors - they need to be in school no matter how "busy" they get.
Not surprised. I've heard cabbies, especially those who weren't raised in the US/Canada (and that's a lot of them, at least in NYC and Toronto), complain about just anything that wouldn't have been considered "acceptable" in their old country. One guy once commented to me about a billboard - the model wasn't overly…
The same thing could happen here if too many right-wing extremists get their way. #somalia
@Dancingfrog: I wasn't sure if 3A was a UK size or a US size 3A. The former is believable. Latter? Not so much. I am 5'2" and a 5B (US). #dr90210
Eloise ROCKS! Hey, Kay Thompson was an actress too, right? She played the editor in Funny Face. #hilaryknight
