That is very interesting, seriously. I think how you were raised and what examples you had growing up of child rearing may also alter your view. My parents tried their best from what I could tell but they had limited support systems, a supremely negative relationship, and just seemed overwhelmed by having children.…

You are wrong- they are not ugly at all.

Mmmm, delicious floor snacks.

Its like perfect for a Friday!!

The real itch for me was... When Spice Girls dropped, their marketing team was already pronouncing them the next Beatles.

I think that is the difference. You had to be tweenish to get this. I was well into my 20s, and had been through my metal, raver, and grunge phases already. Since you mentioned them, I loved TLC. I couldn’t get enough TLC, but Spice Girls was just pop earworms.

I was like 13 when they came out so they were everything to me. Same with TLC.

HAHAHA for once it WASN’T THE AMERICANS

Its totally not the only option! In the case of the first Mom, the state paying someone to clean that grandmother’s house, and then maybe checking back every two weeks to help teach the woman to clean it herself would be cheaper than putting kids in a foster home (plus all the legal fees) as well as being less…

Q: What do Gene Kelly, Judy Holiday, Leonard Bernstein, Dorothy Parker, Gypsy Rose Lee, Harry Belafonte, Burgess Meredith, Langston Hughes, Lloyd Bridges, Lena Horne, Charlie Chaplin, Eddie Albert, Pete Seegar and Burl Ives have in common with Colin Kaepernick?

My child has seen this series so many times, she’s convinced her middle name is actually “The Bee” and she signs her homework that way for kindergarten. I blame myself for singing the theme song from the 80s to her as an infant.
While crude, I’m not sure I can work up outrage over this. The mom seems rather prudish.…

omg! this is a thing! :D

I’m really looking forward to the next 4 pieces in this series... it is a whole, big complicated business. I looked at some of the stories in the RISE magazine, and I think the whole project is awesome and it looks like all different kinds of cases are going to be presented.

Maybe Netflix was cross-promoting American Vandal. Only someone aware of the rudimentary penis drawings would notice dick grafitti, right?

I think this is funny, but I never understood the obsession with drawing dicks.

In my experience, about half of children do indeed make dick jokes (guess which half?), which they find positively hilarious.

Idea: stop teaching children that dicks are inherently menacing.

Incorrect. Starvation and malnourishment, even with the large human population we have now, are political problems, not yield or scientific problems.

Completely agreed. Our focus should be on other things to really make an impact.

Yeah, if you’re going to be in the house and available for emergencies, you can hire the neighbor kid or your teenage cousin for 10 bucks an hour.
