Old people fucking rock. Get used to it.

I agree. I was 7 and I'll never forget watching that first step onto the moon and even at that age thinking of how historic a moment that was.

Struggling students are often given preferential seating, near the teacher, so that their comprehension and their work can be monitored more closely, and they can get the assistance they need. This is a common accommodation for special ed students, english learners, and students with hearing and vision issues.

My 11 year old daughter was certified GATE in Math two years ago, which delighted her 3rd grade teacher, who encouraged her, and royally pissed off her 4th grade teacher, who openly favored the boys in the class over the girls. Mercifully her 5th grade teacher doesn't play favorites, and encourages all of her…

I... have a soft spot for 9.. The moment that won me over was this:

In a time when grandmothers have full sleeve tattoos it's evidently getting harder and harder to feel "edgy" and get that sweet, sweet attention that some crave.

I grew up watching cheesy (and sometimes not-so-cheesy) horror films on Saturday afternoons in San Diego, so 'scary' films didn't tend to have a big impact on me — some jumps and chills, but that's about it.

I watched this on HBO about 20 dozen times as little kid. Last night I was reading bed time stories to my son and noticed his closet door open. I immediately closed that portal to hell. I still can't sleep in a room with an open closet .

Isn't this the one with the scary tree outside the bedroom window, too? To a nearsighted kid who didn't get diagnosed until later grades, this was my nightmare fuel.

The original Poltergeist was the only film I can think of that ever got thunder right. Unless a storm is right on top of you, thunder always comes a few seconds after lightning. In the vast majority of films they're synchronized, which is wrong, wrong, wrong.

I want four hours on a darkened patio, overlooking a lake on a warm summer night, just listening to Jeff Bridges, Beau Bridges and Jeff Favreau shoot the breeze. Favreau, not only because he's cool, but because he can get anybody to tell stories they'd never tell on their own. Both Jeff and Beau because I can't…

You know I have to say I actually really dug his character in Iron Man. Maybe it's because I was never much of an Iron Man reader growing up, but I had no idea WHO he was, and the reveal took me by surprise. Jeff Bridges is really good at selling nice dude. Obidiah seemed like a good friend to Tony.

Here you go: when I was 11, in 1991, my mom went to a local charity auction. For a measly $200, she picked up a wonderful prize: Sam Waterson would come to your house and read to you from your favorite Roald Dahl book.

We're gonna need some more detail on this Waterston - Dahl incident

This is the best story I got:

I met John Ritter in a bar and he asked me to hold his beer. Then he immediately yelled, "BARTENDER! THIS KID IS GETTING DRUNK OVER HERE!!", which made everyone in the bar turn and look, and me blush like crazy (I was 11). Then he bought me a water... which, errm.. was free. Because water. Also because open bar..…

Circa 2002? Maybe 2003.

I was the Room Service Coordinator at a casino in Atlantic City, NJ. My job consisted of taking orders via phone, creating the checks, assigning servers, and closing the checks. Room service also handled all the amenities for the shows, so I've been on the phone with an assortment of…

Better late than never, and most definitely should've posted this story sooner but here it goes. I do promise this will make you smile.

Not necessarily a great twist, but def a great scene. I replayed that bit 3 times on the DVR. Love love loved it.
