My kid just turned 5 and also has a very bad sense of where her body is in space. I enrolled her in karate class, which I hope helps. She recently head-butted my husband and broke his glasses :( (Although an expensive lesson to learn, I think she now gets it why we keep telling her not to head butt. She was really…

I was also raised in the northeast by atheist parents. Right on!

Amen! (see what I did there?)
Speaking as a 42 year old raised by atheists. And raising my own free-thinker.

I have never watched this show, but now I'm mildly obsessed with it because of these recaps.

Dicks don't rape people, men rape people.

I bought mine (a nice "Seven Year Itch" Marilyn costume dress. $109) online. It was rad.
But, then, I also got married in Vegas, on Halloween, by a Tom Jones impersonator, with our immediately families (who flew in) in costume. My husband & I were driven down the aisle (by "Gold Jacket Elvis) in a pink caddie.

I find her... not attractive. That's not to say she's NOT. I just don't think she is. Again, my own deal/issues.

a) Marrying yourself is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of

(I tried re-watching Ghostbusters a few months ago, and couldn't get through it. This was an extremely unpopular thing to admit to my friends and on Facebook. Note: I LOVED Ghostbusters when it came out.)

Yep. My husband hates certain aspects about himself, and I notice he's attracted to women with the opposite. i.e. he was made fun of because of his big lips & curly hair. I have thin lips and straight hair. Boom! I guess I should feel grateful to his tormentors?

Yay for FingerToes! I also have them! I'm also super lazy, so they come in handy when I don't feel like bending over to pick up stuff.

Feet are feet. They get us places. There was NO big thing on feet when/where I was growing up. I didn't get my first pedicure until I was 26. (and, even now, I get one once or twice a year) It feels like all of a sudden, it's all "feet, Feet, FEET!!"

I feel that way about cankles! I'm all "I have to feel insecure about my fucking ANKLES, now?! I have enough to deal with. Fuck THAT!"

Also, toes. People are always making fun of toes and feet. Really? I refuse to feel weird about my toes, ankles, feet, or ass (because I can't see it so it doesn't matter).

Remember…

Me too :(

I'm trying REALLY HARD to accept my thinnish lips because my daughter, instead of inheriting my husband's beautiful full lips, got mine instead. And now I have to embrace mine because I don't want to put MY shit on her.

But, yeah, it's really hard. Sometimes she she smiles and her top lip completely…

I'm on the west coast. My mom is on the east coast, and my MIL is in the midwest.

The man is horrible, don't get me wrong.

I have a deviated septum. It is a a blessing as well as a curse... to not be able to smell anything.

Also "She smelled like my insides" is a horrifying sentence, hee hee. (I didn't notice that. I was too busy feeling traumatized by how painful birth was and wondering why anyone would voluntarily have more than one child. I, um, still feel that way)

I don't know if my experience was "the norm." I've asked my girlfriends, and ALL of them felt that massive love immediately. I know that you supposedly get a rush of endorphins after childbirth that essentially "make" you fall in love with your baby. But obviously we're not all the same, biologically.

When my daughter was born, I DIDN'T have that "all-encompassing love" that everyone talks about. I was a bit freaked out, tired, and pretty wired all at the same time. My husband took one look at her and said something along the lines of the heart shattering into a million pieces with love, and I lied and said "Me…
