I get it.  Yes, preschool meant my husband and I spent a lot of time sick.  Fun to meet another adoptive parent here - it’s just really the most incredible thing, isn’t it?  It hits me so hard sometimes I can hardly breathe.  Such love.

Someone page White Nonsense Roundup.

My kid spent her first 10 months in an open-air Chinese orphanage. Her little face was covered with bug bites and her skin was deeply tanned when we picked her up. She has had zero illnesses in her last 14 years. There’s something to say for a little germ action.

How about a Hazmat suit? *winky-winky*

You really are a natural.  :-)

Well, who played Miss Trunchable?

Else Koch was the Bitch of Buchenwald. We need something equally pithy for future generations to read on this chick’s Wikipedia page.

Is it possible for a man’s balls to be too big, as in awkwardly big and ungainly?

My daughter, who was just 12 when this came out, is adopted from China. We had the good fortune of being in the car, listening to NPR, when this story came on This American Life. We were headed to lunch, but instead, just sat in the car listening, enrapt. We loved Billi and Nai Nai and talked about them incessantly…

Should say FIEFDOM

Friend, may I suggest upping your intake of anti-depressants and acquiring a prescription for a benzodiazepam?  That’s my “what’s next.”

You make a compelling argument.  In fact, don’t you think you could subtly talk Eric into becoming woke???

Does Errol think that Henry Louis Gates is the gatekeeper to all black employment decisions? For example, my insurance man is black. If I want to laud him or complain about him, should I be cc’ing Dr. Gates and American Family Insurance? Also, may I start telling people that my insurance man is black?

OMG, I never thought of this.  Look as unhinged as possible and no one will want to sit with you!

But she won’t! Her fragile little immune system will crash when faced with a common cold germ she missed on the 100th swipe!

I hate to be Dwight Schrute over here (I don’t), but as nice as this sounds - and it does sound good to me to give my seat a good sanitizing, I have a feeling you’re going to face a riot of Parisian proportions if you’re holding up the line of passengers who are already in the mood to fight.  I feel like if I don’t…

Begging Eric to take you back?

Won’t someone please think of what a nice life he could have - such promise! - if he only gets around these charges? 

A disgrace to the tribe!

I think Mr. Nebraska is simply used to Nebraska.  I grew up in Kansas and have always thought it was beautiful beyond compare, despite the dumbasses that live there.  Flat state people “get” flat state people.  I hear you, Mr. Nebraska.
