This is the first article I've read on the matter that took the trouble to spell out the precise nature of the Little Sister's complaint, in order to point out exactly where the legal absurdity of it lie. Thank you for this. It's easy to snark about the subject; what you've done is informative reporting.

Being a mummy doesn't make you a scientist. (Nor does it make you a teacher or lawyer or chef or judge or particle accelerator support technician, no matter WHAT the adorable Facebook chain post says.)

This is what I don't get. People freak out if a woman has a small glass of wine when visibly pregnant, but many laughs and accept the whole "I'm eating for two, I can eat whatever I want!" ... but you aren't eat for two...you're eating for one and 1/25th or something (I'm just making up a fraction here for the size…

I wonder if this is more to do with how relaxed the mum is, as a person.

Anecdotally, my parents drink wine together multiple times a week and are still happy after 30something years of marriage. Also anecdotally, wine makes me a better conversationalist. Sooo the more I drink, the more interesting I will be to my hypothetical husband!

I'm a man, and I'd kiss him. On the mouth. Hard. YOU HEARD.

How can he be your boyfriend when he's my husband huh? Riddle me that!

Sofa, can we share? I'll take even days of the month. That means you get extra days.

Husband is out of state for a bachelor party. Thoroughly enjoying slobbing it up around the house, watching WAY to much tv, and gifs of my imaginary boyfriend, Cumberbatch. Life is good.

Jewish lesbian penguins?

One of my dad's friends was raised Mormon. One day her mom took her to the doctor because her period had stopped. The doctor asked about sex, and she said no, of course not. She was a virgin. The doctor and the mom left the room to talk about some of the possibilities. That is when the nurse asked "do you know what…
