Look, y’all don’t have to believe this, but she actually wrote me and thanked me for calling her piece ‘hilarious.’ Everyone processes things differently, and sometimes a humorous tone helps express something difficult.

Counterpoint: He’s is the very opposite of sophisticated.

I guess I should say that I understand why, I just don’t understand that people need to feel that they aren’t far from celebrities or that these people could be their friends. I can understand it in kids or even teenagers but after that, you really do need to get a life.

Wasn’t 2002 only a couple of years ago?!?!

Old El Paso hard and soft taco shells?

I don't know why I find the picture of Coco with her baby so cute.

Now I’m confused because Europe uses the metric system; maybe I’m only a 6 in America, but it converts to a 10 overseas?

Which is so weird because toddlers are known for their grace and excellent coordination.
