I’m very impressed with the Cortana responses. To me, anything personal like this seems like an awful lot to expect of a program that’s basically designed to help you get a pizza.

Oh man that must of been crazy. I can understand the lady had the best of intentions, but it’s still rough.

Uggh the science center!!! My 3-year old loooooves it and the 3 tantrums he has thrown this year was a direct result of leaving the science center after 9-5pm stint, and he felt we should stay longer. My son is mixed race and we aren’t. It was the longest 5 minute walk to the car ever with a toddler (who looks nothing…

IKR? Sounds like some programmer’s idea of a sick joke. It would be funny if we weren’t talking about something so serious and literally life or death.

Yeah but whoever thought that was okay to program should not be programming shit.

“even more disturbingly—directions to the closest bridge.”

So this fall we will have a trio of Trio?

Yeah if that’s a tantrum, OK would hide from my 3 yo. She just bawled for 20 minutes straight because the leggings she wanted to wear were still wet in the dryer. “I did laundry kiddo” “WHY YOU WASH MY LEGGINGS?! THEY NOT DIRTY MOMMY! THEEEEEY NOOOOT DIRTYYYYY!"

Maybe someone should explain stranger danger to the people at OK magazine and maybe the child was crying because some fucking weirdo was following him and his family around taking pictures of him.

This is the country music I love, not that southern pop that’s taken over. The rhythms that hark back to old English ballads and Celtic music.

I love the whole “reasons my kid is crying” listless and tumblr because kids cry at the most random crap. Or, it’s hilarious when it’s not your kid

Right? If a grumpy face makes that kid a “Monster Child!” I really don’t want to know how they’d describe my toddler.. who just screamed and cried real tears over not being allowed to overflow the bathroom sink.

Things that have made my child cry: 1) he has to go to daycare. 2) he has to come home from daycare. 3) the waffles at the diner were the wrong shape. 4) the guy he just waved at turned out NOT to be 1996 Steve from Blues Clues. 5) It’s windy.

Your cousin and I have pretty much identical lineage lol. Only difference is I identify as a Latina first and Black second. True story: when I first got my drivers license, there was no “other” box to check under Race. When I explained my background and pointed out the issue, the DMV guy sighed and said, “Look... Do…

I will look that up immediately — ‘they’ block the good ads up here in Canada :(

How anyone can hear, “parts of my uterus are growing uncontrollably /outside/ of my uterus” and not immediately say, “omigod, lie down, here is all of the world’s chocolate supply, what else do you need?” is beyond me.

I had issues for years that were dismissed as “just cramps.” Then I read Padma’s account of her struggle in Glamour and realized I wasn’t crazy. Her openness directly led to my diagnosis and saved me YEARS of emotional and physical distress. Fuck Salman Rushdie

It took me several doctors before anyone believed it wasn’t just cramps. I even had one say that based on my age, he was bound to think I was just looking for narcotics. This was AFTER my first laparoscopy, which he had pictures from.

I don’t get that because I don’t have it but the idea of one part of my body branching out and starting to grow where it’s not supposed to freaks me the fuck out.

Sounds like somebody needs to work on their kegels.
