As someone who babysat since I was 11, raised two children, and ran two different daycares, I stand by my comment.

Portland has some really friggin' nice parks! It's one of the things I love about it.

Fair enough. I've just never had such an experience - and I thought I lived in one of the most smug, self-entitled cities around!

If they're like most cats I've known, they will disdainfully ignore (is that possible) the skin baby. Or they will try to kill it. j/k!

Well, maybe it's just my children and the vast majority of other children I've known, but I could be naive... Has your experience with children (over the age of 3) involved a lot of human waste?

It would be better still if everybody just ignored them.

I'm with you. If my son had done something like this, I would feel horrible and want to apologize to the people affected as well.

I have two older skin babies (adults), and have just gotten my first furbaby. I've had pets before but have never referred to them as my children (in fact I used to make fun of that), but my boyfriend and I will never have kids of our own, so we're officially "parents" of a new kitten!

As a Portland resident I couldn't help thinking how easily this could have been about Portland.

The two questions I want answers to!

I'm sorry, but normal children under the age of 6 do NOT attempt to piss or shit anywhere.

Well that makes sense because the latter is much more likely to happen!

I did not know that! Jack has always seemed a bit of a creepster to me.

This one doesn't. Never have. I also don't shave regularly myself, and have had no complaints.

Well, you don't really HAVE to...

Elope!

I refuse to get rid of my pubes, which shouldn't be a statement, but apparently it is. I'm all in favor of natural body hair, so men's back hair is the least of my worries.

Nope

Wait, what? Models are extraordinarily skinny?

I've never understood it either, but I'm not much of a joiner.
