@formergr: Thanks for that perspective. It is useful.

@FrannyG: Franny, I get what you are saying. I don't like meekness and/or blind obedience. I think we should never accept stuff just because the person in charge says it; it can lead to abuses of power.

@dontbogartthewine: I don't know. There's people who are kind and nice to others, but awful to their loved ones.

@morninggloria: Comment of the day.

@SisterMaryMartha is GOLDEN.: Brains, personality, athletic prowess, spiritual development, sense of style, etc.

@brendastarlet: Exactly. Lifetime bragging rights.

@Cerridwen: My husband suffers from sleep apnea. When you are stressed out and exhausted, it's hard to get things going.

@theorchidthief: This is where communication is key, so we understand what is happening (and why) and we don't end up feeling like crap.

@flaxen_vixen: I want to be touched by his noodly appendage...

Poor vocal coach. She looked dumbfounded when Kim asked "how does all this come into play in the studio?"

As a parent, I think it is incredibly irresponsible not to acknowledge a teenager's sexual curiosity. The best option is to teach our kids how to protect themselves while simultaneously talking about everything they risk if they choose to engage in sex. And by risk I mean unwanted pregnancies/VD, not moral judgments.

@f_t_e: My oldest daughter got the Midge doll for Christmas. She was about 4 and she loved it. The doll gave us an opportunity to discuss, in an age appropriate way, how babies come to be. Both Midge and babe are still around and my 3 year-old plays with them now, but the belly got lost a long time ago.

@Patsy_Stone: That was my favorite of the night.
