Same thing happened to my parents when I was 12 and planning my 13th birthday. My dad SWORE I was 11 turning 12 and not 12 turning 13 and when I was like, “DUDE I WAS BORN IN 1985, NOT 1986” he told me I was wrong because I was child and didn’t know what I was talking about lol.

i got into a fight with my friend about her age once. i was wrong, but i was like, deeply convinced she was a year older.

let me mansplain your age to you.

My ex has asked his own daughter how old she is during phone conversations. This shit happens.

you spelled doo-doo wrong.

Who is he kidding, kids at that age do not want to hang out with their parents.

Imagine the reaction to Nancy Pelosi making this demand.

The victim’s age doesn’t prevent her from having lifelong consequences.

19 is plenty old enough to understand the concept of “don’t sexually assault someone.”

He didn’t take his dad’s car for a joy ride, or get caught smoking a “left handed cigarette” (as my dad would call it). HE FRIGGIN’ RAPED SOMEONE. And he can petition for it to be removed in 15 years.

Growing up, every time I went to the pediatrician, my mom would ask me how old I was while filling out forms. Every time. You would think giving birth to a nearly 10 pound human after 23 hours of labor would be somewhat memorable, but I guess she blocked it. (and really, who could blame her?)

They do. And grown men shouldn’t be treated like they can’t have emotions and weaknesses and needs, either. And women and girls also shouldn’t be tasked with bearing the burden of doing all the emotional labor of taking care of men and maintaing relationships (and childcare, and housework, and they shouldn’t be…

“I BETTER CALL STACY - HER LITTLE BOYS RHEIGN AND XISTOPHER ARE SUCH NAUGHTY BOYS”

Honestly, I read that as being your girl will be independent with a family of her own, but your son will never be able to do shit for himself. GRANTED that isn’t what the person who wrote it probably meant. They probably meant, some day your daughter is gonna have sex and then she ain’t your sweet girl any more. She…

“She’s breaking things, what do I do? THEY DIDNT HAVE THIS IN THE LITTLE GIRL HANDBOOK, ONLY IN THE LITTLE BOY VERSION AND I DIDNT BUY THAT ONE!”

I usually wear mine on my crotch, but Jim Webb is not bound by your silly sartorial rules.

i like how he’s threatening an independent run, as if there’s a huge subset of voters clamoring for jim fucking webb to be president. “Hmmm I like the idea of a fiscal democrat who ALSO is uncomfortable with black voters AND wants to bomb the shit out of the Middle East. Jim Webb’s my guy.”

But Anna, where does his supporter go now?

Well to be fair to the Palins, he built a clock. They have no frame of reference to deal with that kind of behavior. It’s not like he got someone pregnant or got arrested for starting a fistfight at a house party.
