Right. The children have changed. Not your perception of them.

It truly boggles my mind that the argument now is that the children have changed. As if every generation of children hasn’t been the exact same since the dawn of man. My kids are selfish, entitled little narcissists who I would die for. But they are the way they are because that’s how kids are. (Also maybe because I’m…

He fits very neatly into politicians I would hate bang.

We’ve got enough tragic stories of our own! Give us the real weird shit. 

At least once, the culprit was a child who admitted to playing a prank

I think the polite thing to do in that situation would be for you to stand up and start singing “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”, but I have to double check what Emily Post says about being unknowingly invited to a Nazi party hall.

Why are we letting this administration do these things like they’re normal?

The San Francisco Ballet goes out to elementary schools and does a presentation and then offers scholarships to attend. My godson (mixed) received a scholarship and got to study at the San Francisco School of Ballet for two years. He didn’t end up continuing, but it was an amazing experience. The pool is not that…

The best response I’ve ever read to “Look, my parents spanked me and I turned out fine!” is “No, you didn’t. You think it is okay to hit little kids.”

She’s really got to change her conception schedule :)
