Exactly! I actually think it gets more fucked up over time because she starts punishing the kids because the moms aren't dedicated enough or some such bullshit. My mother would have pulled me out of that environment so fast, but fortunately, my studio was the most encouraging place I could imagine.

I have a weird out thing because I made the mistake of watching Dance Moms and that poor kid is on it. I danced in the same competition circuit as some of the studios on that show and everything about that show rubs me the wrong way from the dance and competition aspect, so, unfortunately for Maddie, she got a…

Right? I think I'd have been more ok with this if they had hired an actual dancer instead of Shia. Like, I think there's a weird creepy factor, but it was clearly intended and it would just be more effective with a dancer. There's tons of them out there!

As someone who voted for a shitty liberal this election, I approve this statement.

But da babiez!!

I've only been to one wedding recently where they didn't do it, and I left early, so they might have just not gotten around to it yet. My circle tends towards the mind blowingly old fashioned side when it comes to traditions like that though. Straight up, no one misses that one if it's not there.

I'd vote for her, if she were real... and if I weren't an American.

It's so weird seeing these actors out of costume, even in other shows. The actress who played Sybil pops up in other things periodically and all I can think is "umm, you're in the wrong era." I also spent the past 4 seasons getting over being tempted to say "Harriet Jones, Prime Minister" or "Oh look, it's Shaun's…

Sure, they're apparently hiding behind my anecdotes and ability to proofread.

Yeah- what's the internet post equivalent of putting your foot in your mouth? Cause, I did that here. Kinja where's the delete, because this will be annoying and resurface.

Uggh, I wish I didn't have antidotes that backed up that exact thing, but freshman orientation was a weirdly eye opening experience where I was exposed to a non feminist world.

I'm in the pro-kids camp because it makes the most sense for my family and friends. My cousins are all significantly younger than me and I don't have many of them, so of course they were invited to my wedding (I literally have 5 cousins, if I had say, 40, like my best friend that would have been a different thing). It…

Midwesterner here and never been to a wedding without a shit load of kids running around. It helps that most of my family and friends are Catholic, so kids are kinda everywhere anyway- between the large families with siblings of the bride or groom who are under the age of 13, siblings of the bride and groom who have…

My mother decided to watch the Kardashians with me and my sister at some point in no small part due to her massive crush on 1970s Bruce Jenner. Like she was seriously in love with him, but then looked at him on the show and was saddened by the plastic surgery.

So, I have an idiot friend who did this in high school and while he went in clothed, he had a lot of clothes pretty much rip off while he was going down and then the rest when the fire department came to rescue him, because chimneys are not meant for people. I'm not saying she didn't go in naked, but presenting the…

He's the best. I love how in character he is while at the same time being super endearing with that little girl. Like, Disney World did a great job when they hired him.

Plus, it's Hawaii, you're having to fly in some stuff that can't grow there from a decent distance. Isn't milk insanely expensive there? I imagine that marks things up too.

Right? My friend proposed to his now wife at a super fancy place in Chicago that has a rotating menu. I was super excited to see the menu. Like, they came in "we're engaged!" "Yay, amazing, so happy for you, what'd you eat?"

You're not alone. They probably picked out some great things and I'm willing to bet that their dessert was to die for (and if they didn't get dessert, I'm sad). I also want to know what $1000 buys for a meal. I've done some fancy expensive meals, but not $1000 ones and I gots to know.

Best version of Cinderella. Sorry everyone, pack it in, we're done here.
