Babes is always the answer.

What if your daughter made friends with another little girl on vacation, and that little girl had an older brother that played with both of them? That seems like something that could've happened here?

I don't think it's necessarily a parenting fail for your kid to make and keep a friend in another geographic area. Even a friend of the opposite sex who is four years older. It says he had no idea that she was coming, so the parents could've been monitoring the emails or letters (I am old, had a pen pal at that…

It says they met on vacation. Maybe he has a sister closer to her age that she's really friends with, but she kept in touch with both and developed a crush? Or maybe he was an immature 14 when they met? I can think of lots of situations where it's not weird. I distinctly remember a 12-year-old boy in my…

Maybe a law like "cabs may only cross one state line per passenger" would've saved a little trouble, and "cab drivers must verify that a passenger is 18 before crossing a state line" might've been good, too. But yeah, I agree that this is mostly a failure of common sense.

I haven't been pregnant in years and still have an occasional phantom kick. The first few times, I freaked the fuck out, but now it's just annoying.

The child molesting lottery winner is a cab driver.

Not necessarily, to both questions.

Thank you for saying this.

Not yet. Lottery winners generally end up miserable. And, if there's any possible way for the victim's parents to sue him (I have no idea if there would be) at least it would be worth their while.

the tall (or average size) couple look like Jersey Barbie and Ken, while the smaller couple looks like they live in a Polly Pocket compact.

STOP WATCHING MY FAMILY AND ACCURATELY DESCRIBING US ON THE INTERNET!!!

no. She was cursing about her son.

that's how I imagined someone sitting when I read the headline. I was thinking he somehow caught his junk on the drain- thingy or perhaps that some sort of shower-dwelling rodent got him.

that is incredibly sad, for both of them. Imagine being a parent of an adult and having your kid's sexual attractiveness form that much of your social life. Wouldn't you want the vast majority of your social life to be your own friends, met through your own work/hobbies/partner/etc, especially at that point in your…

yes, two rude people are clearly enough representation for a state bigger and more populous than many countries. I'm sure you don't find my Californian aunt Beatrice to be a bigot when she talks shit about Korea and says, no really, she's met like four Koreans and they all suck, so why is Korea even a place?

when I was a kid we got one grade for dressing out and one for participating. So maybe she was hoping to get a 50 instead of a zero?

She didn't skip class. Skipping class is when you don't show up, which endangers the school's funding, and isn't good for school safety (since kids who skip just one class are often hiding somewhere on campus, which can become a safety issue). She chose not to do an assignment. There's already a perfectly logical…

Eh, Denis Leary has a sex-ay voice. It's not completely weird.

Why do so many commenters not know what a DO is and insist it's not a real thing? Are they just getting "osteopathy" confused with "homeopathy" or what? Osteopathy is real medicine. MDs and DOs have very similar educations and are often trained in the same internship programs. The philosophical differences between…
