The random jackass seems to be getting a lot more frequent around here since Kinja. Thanks, Gawkerverse.

Honestly, it's a difficult question. I personally would have given her the bag back (minus the shirt, obviously, and with a piece of my mind in its place) because taking someone else's stuff is wrong. I get that most people would do something different - usually trash the whole purse, probably - but the whole tone of

I just don't like underwear. Unless it's lingerie specifically made to be worn for like, 15 minutes flat and then tossed on the floor, or if it's the mesh drawers the hospital supplies after you birth your spawn, I don't do the underwear thing at all. They feel constricting and icky to me. To each their own, right?

I'm of the opinion in general that indoor plumbing is a fantastic innovation.

I would sort of be okay with a painting of crocheting dogs.

Oh. Yeah, I don't drink enough soda to know that. (I think I remember that kerfuffle though - were they polar bear cans?) Maybe the Diet Pepsi can will be blue on silver?

OMG I MUST HEAR ABOUT THIS. Go on, please.

Maybe she could have been blue on a silver can? Although I think it looks cool as-is.

It makes me sad that the minority (our nontheistic families) are accused as 'rude' for doing what other people routinely do to us. Telling my kid they'll go to hell for not sharing another's mythology (and then describing exactly what they think hell is ... ) is wrong, much more so than my kid talking about the word

When a theistic child tells mine that they're going to hell because they don't hold a belief in the same mythology as that child (and then goes on to explain this concept to my kid, who has no idea of this mythological place of supposed eternal torment), THAT is smug and gross and hurtful to my perfectly nice child.

Well, my kids probably wouldn't use the phrase "tall tale," which isn't really nice considering how important religion is to so many people. I just got my back up because it seems like often the nontheistic family is the "rude" one. Sorry!

Oooh oooh! Me, me! I wanna PUSH THE BUTTONNNNNNNNN!

You made me lol. Thanks!

I don't really get how the boy in your anecdote is disrespectful? Little kids love to announce their knowledge, and that boy's family has taught him that religion is fake/irrelevant/silly/not for them. How is this any less respectful than some other little boy telling my kid that there are three people living in his

I get that people would feel justified because of the action of the first person, but how does that make you any better than the thief? Technically under the law it's found property so you're not really stealing, but there is a difference between legal and right. I do get the impulse, but the woman's like, cackling

The whole point is to have a healthy baby and mama, and hopefully have memories that will give you some nostalgia. Beyond that, you do you, people. Don't listen to anyone with an agenda.

That rocks. lol My bf was like, what is this? That sounds gross. (Knowing full well that I looooooove dill pickles, mind you.)

Fabulous. I'm all over that site now! Thanks.

Please adopt me. I want all the books. ALL THE BOOKS, even the ones I already have. And my kids are the same way. .... you can use my BN card?
