My son has my mom’s maiden name as his first name. That’s another extinct line, namewise.

My brother died when my kid was a few months old, and that combined with my cousins’ situations means that my last name will die out in our line. If I were to have another kid (which seems unlikely at this point), I would really want to give him/her my last name, which I know would be a big fight with my husband.…

My one friend who grew up with a hyphenated name hated it. Interestingly, she now goes by Jane DadsLastName and her brother goes by John MomsLastName.

Didn’t Mila Kunis lie that she was older than she really was, though?

That item made me giggle and blush. I was like, yeah! You get it Roberta!

I can’t remember whether or not my husband had opinions on the bridesmaids dresses, but I did discuss them with him beforehand. My grandma made all the dresses out of the same fabric, but I picked out 4 or 5 patterns for each lady and let them choose. I showed him all the patterns before I sent them out. So he…

Fuck. I just moved here.

Yeah, there was booing, and one guy told the flight attendant that the airline had just lost a lot of customers, so it seems like she wasn’t an asshole.

She did a Mary Poppins parody about a living wage a couple years ago. That’s why.

Don’t forget Popular!

I am so in love with her.

I think it’s like when it’s too hot to have the covers on, but too cold to not, so you stick one leg out.

When I was pregnant my husband offered. I tried to do it myself and came up all bloody, and he was like, I’ll do it... if you really want...

But the thousands of tampons would take up the entire cargo hold.

That was exactly my experience with that book. I have zero desire to read anything else he has written.
