Professional toy helicopter flyer!

Spaghettios are SO gross, I agree. Kind of a dick move, in hindsight, that I had the kids try them.

This reminds me of some kids I used to nanny for. The 3-year-old boy loved Perrier and one time I fed him and his 2-year-old sister Spaghettios just to see what they’d think and they both spit it out. The little girl kept going “No like it!” And their dad laughed when I told him and was like “Of course they hated it!…

Is that what McMansions look like these days? Looks like a regular mansion to me.

My parents are from the Cherry Hill area and it's lovely! Also, LBI forever.

Guys, this is OK! Magazine we’re talking about. Let's not take a pitchfork to Calvin Harris just yet.

LAURA BECK!

I've had them since I was 13!

You know ... it’s times like these that “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore" GIF doesn't even suffice.

I still don’t get it.

D’aww, thanks! I left out the part where, after we left, my friend bummed a cigarette off this 13-year-old girl who was walking outside and was all “My mom don’t care if I smoke!” They asked if I wanted one and I definitely didn’t but wanted to seem ~kewl~ so I said sure ... and was about to take a drag from the WRONG…

“Playboy Mommy” ... oh man. There was a time in my life when I listened to that song a lot and just cried. At the show I went to people were crying when she sang “Baker Baker” for obvious reasons.

I haven’t! What are you favorites on UG?

Yep. I have a lot of older siblings and I listened to “Little Earthquakes” when I was 11 or so and was instantly hooked. Saw her perform live when I was 18 and she was just... divine. I know that sounds effusive but it’s the best way to describe her energy. I’m not into her new stuff but her ‘90s repertoire will…

So true. She gives you goosebumps and makes you feel things on a primal, gut-wrenching level.

A well-deserved tribute. Tori has gotten me through some of the worst days of my life.
