That’s always how I treated my kids, especially my youngest who didn’t read much on his own. But I finally found the trick- at about 7, I got him 2 or 3 Goosebumps books, and suddenly he loved reading! Comic books led to illustrated novels, and so on. And one day I looked up, and Saturday morning found my kids…

It is unfortunate. It’s this attitude that has carried forward and is in no small part responsible for the number of adults I’ve encountered who “Don’t like to read.”
I imagine Markle elegantly vaping some choice cannabis from an elegant vape pen and hiding her phone in another room so she can’t hear it vibrate.
I am stunned - stunned, I tell you! - that the woman didn’t swoon at his bravado and spend the rest of the flight sitting in his lap, buying little bottles of Kahlua, and planning their engagement party.
This was not the first time?? Oh good goddess in heaven. What do women gotta do to get anything fixed around here?!
I would just like to be “that person” and point out he got her number from her carry on bag, not checked bag.
wait wait wait THIS WASN’T THE FIRST TIME HE’S DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THEN WHY IS HE STILL WORKING THERE???
Hmmm. Seriously thinking of changing all my user names to “Crotch Toxins.” I like it.
That’s awesome! Now if the media could keep her name out of their headlines until a Dem wins I’d really appreciate it. Cause I have a mini heart attack any time I see her mentioned. For obvious reasons.
I love the way she’s like “hey, I beat cancer again, so that’s pretty cool.” Queen of understatement.
I do not blame them one bit. The vitriol spewed at her is vile and toxic — and absolutely racist in many cases. Getting out of the line of fire and away from a country that loves to openly and viciously hate some of its public figures is brilliant. I love that they are taking this step to dial down their royal profile…
Suddenly, people begin asking: How did anyone ever think that was OK?
Bill Hader always looks a bit awkward and stiff to me, I don’t think it’s anything to do with Rachel Bilson. Bilson seems like an exceedingly waifish, tiny person. They are definitely cute together.
The designer of Billy Porter’s ensemble (Alex Vinash) is the partner of a childhood friend of mine!
Why not? He’s got the same qualifications.
There was a mass extinction event in late 2016. We all died, and this is hell.
Not explicitly New Year’s-y, but my mother spent the last 20-30 minutes of our weekly phone call talking about why I should try to lose weight for my wedding. I have asked her not to talk to me about weight loss, I explained (again!) why I don’t want to put that pressure on myself, and while she usually gets it and…
The cost is irrational, since it is set by emotionally compromised and mentally unstable losers.
