God, that almost makes me want to have a kid (ALMOST). Even more than all those adorable videos of babies with puppies or whatevs. This kid and her almost-swear is so freaking adorable.

I remember that movie! It's called Absolute Strangers, and was based on a true story. Two anti-abortion activists (the "absolute strangers") asked to be granted guardianship of the fetus and the man's wife. Not the woman's parents or siblings. Two absolute strangers. W. T. F.

I want Donald Glover to be on my TV all the time. The only acceptable exception for not being on my TV all the time is because he is in my house all the time. The end.

Please. I learned to swear on the school bus when I was 6. And to me, personally, the idea isn't that the "harm" comes from the word itself, but the intent behind it. Rather than shield kids from swear words, I'd rather we, as a society, teach these kids that the words exist, and they're to be used in appropriate…

Yeah, you can just call your doctor's office and ask them which vaccine they gave you. DTaP, Tdap, or DPT/DTP/DTwP (it can go by any of those three names) are variants of the combo vaccination that covers diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus. They have a bunch of different names because of different…

I used to have a very fun anatomy and physiology professor in college. He was a chatty dude. One day, when discussing menstruation and contraceptives in class, he admitted to us that he thought the "ring" was an actual ring. That you wore on your finger. Which made me think, "You know, if that existed, I would want to…

I just realized that this makes it sound like I was "seriously" dating someone in high school, which I wasn't. I just meant it more as a monogamous-type relationship. We weren't going to get married, or anything, we just weren't seeing multiple people, and we defined each other as boyfriend/girlfriend, not "person I…

A couple of years ago my stepmom was expressing her concerns that I wasn't dating anyone, and hadn't seriously been dating anyone since high school (I was in my early 20s). Then she said, almost reluctantly, "I just want to make sure that you're...having 'fun'." It took me a second to figure out what she was talking…

Ultimately, I think every family needs to make the choice that is right for them, and stop fearing the mommy wars or being guilted into thinking they are terrible human beings for not breastfeeding or co-sleeping or what have you. Heaping guilt onto women about how they raise their kids is not ok, in my book.

I don't know about you guys, but I sent a letter to Kellogg's to thank them for basically not being total dummies and bowing to the demands of an irrational Hater McHaterson, and then went out and bought a crap ton of Froot Loops (ok, two boxes, and one was Raisin Bran).

Am I...am I high right now? I must be, right? This man cannot possibly exist.

I've never been so happy I've cried. Ever. Until just now.

He's not bad either. Not bad at all... I'd take him as a very close second to Jeremy Renner. If both of them wanted to magically show up in my bedroom, I would not be mad about it.

More people should have loved that show. Because then Jeremy Renner's face would be on my TV screen every week. And his biceps. And his ass. Mmmrffff.

*insert obligatory Mitt Romney joke here*

So. Much. Win.

I don't think the issue is about those who are so far right on this issue that they'll never vote for Obama. The campaign is probably worried about losing moderates, particularly those who lean conservative. It's like this pretty much every election cycle (unless something major happened to make voters hate one…

I think...I think we need to be prudent here. Let's not give Mittens any more ammunition. Republicans might not be strongly in favor of him, but gay all-your-base-are-belong-to-us panic is certainly only going to bring his voter bloc together, and might draw in those right-of-center voters. And while I want gay…

I agree on the french manicured toenails. They weird me out.

I can't be the only one who sees the name Hollande and has their mind immediately turn that into "hollandaise," right? No? Just me?
