Yeah. I just found out I’m having another girl and all of a sudden I’m in love with the name Susan. Surprisingly it’s in top 1000 names for 2014 (around 850), but falls into noooooo trend at all. It’s this weird dark horse candidate on my yuppie list: margot, arden, colette.

When I flew on Bangkok Airways at 29 weeks they made me fill out an indemnification agreement in case they had to divert the plane for me and record my due date. I guess it was standard practice for any woman in her third trimester.

You sound insufferable.

They subconsciously assume that they will have a partner (often called a “wife”) who will do the lion’s share of the kid-rearing. This ingrained knowledge affects their job choices, their hiring practices, and their behavior. (Ladies: at the start of your relationship, your man will promise you the moon about how much…

Yeah, I’m not trying to defend the cops, but it kind of looks like she threw herself forward once the second cop grabbed her arm. Am I the only one seeing that?
