I was going to say the same thing: aren't the cousins and sisters of the Fifty Shades books a similar spin on this? Girl gets kidnapped, gets humiliated, then falls in love?

I don't want a news report, a story told anecdotally will suffice. In the spirit of sharing.

Just curious, what's the "majority"? And where in Texas? And no one said anything?

I know. :) But had I not phrased it like that, my joke would have made no sense!

Socks indeed have desginated feet, your own. If you've been wearing one and giving away the other, you are doing it wrong, yes. :)

I was just in an earthquake just a few minutes ago, and I kept thinking how the experience could be used to fake an excuse to get out of anything academic or work related. (Sidenote: I'm fine.)

My daughter turns EVERYTHING into a prop to reenact scenes from Frozen. So I get your point.

Exactly. It's these sort of issues that becoming the father of a girl that have tuned me more and more to what she will face in the world, that I never thought about. I want her to, like you did, keep liking what she likes despite the snide remarks. As a kid, I think I would have been super excited to know an X-Men…

Exactly, that's what most of us were saying the last time. Jada knows.

Yeah. In this instance, we've been lucky, fortunately.

I'm a geek dad, and no one dares to chastize me for buying superhero t-shirts or costumes for my two year old daughter (who loves them equally as much as she loves mermaids, princesses and pink legos,) and she's not bullied either. The other day, we put her on one of her (mine) favorite ones, and she came back home…

I love moving too. My bowels.

I have a two year old who owns about 100 right socks, and no left ones.

Stupid playgroup indeed. If Romeo was a Juliet, and she owned, say, one hundred superhero costumes, no one would bat an eyelash.

Love everything about GotG so far, but these two photos gave me a "Star Lord stripper arriving at a bachelorette's party" vibe.

Anna pressed "love" on the remote.

Why is it that when I read "leaking early estimates", did I think of breast milk? Is there something wrong with me?

If you do, I'll finally feel like a published author.

i also recall a discussion of Jenny McCarthy's literary output too. I would not ban those either . Use them as toilet paper, sure. But not ban them. Feed them to our goats, sure. But not ban them.

I think men both fetishize and fear both ends of the spectrum: being the memorable first one, and being that awful first time.
