I agree with taking it away for the rest of the ride—but give it back at school, not a pool noodle!

Agreed—-but the cane should have been given back at the end of the ride. Not replaced with a noodle. Also, why is he using a school cane? How does he navigate on vacations?

Heroic action. Thank you!

You are a hero! What a great way to handle it!

How oh how did the baby ginger (bread) cope with the trauma that destroyed its house and family?!

I am still pretty convinced that circus peanuts are packing peanuts coated in a bit of old sugar. GROSS!

Yes—-even in the first book he stands up to his friends and garners points from Dumbledore to win the cup—Neville could have been Harry (or you know, a more heroic version of Neville) if Voldemort picked his parents.

Sick burn! I'm down with Ron and Hermione, but that comment needed recognition. Well done.

Loki, a rescue kitty! We thought we were sooooo clever back in '06 calling the cat Loki. Not only did Thor come along, but another kitten IN HIS LITTLE was also named Loki. Shameful...

I'm so sorry! Pets are the best.

I hope those same people break into my house and leave a puppy.

My 16.3 hand horse is terrified of butterflies. It's humiliating.

I'm just picturing Conan O'Brien on a leash. And I'm liking it.

What if it was the SAME JUGGALO?! Some sore of deranged deflowerer juggalo?! This could be Rob Schneider's come back!

It was hugely uncool for him to do that! And no one ever called to really follow up with me—-I had to track someone down to tell me the next steps, and did the whole D and C thing.

You can certainly *plan* flights around their naptimes—-that, sadly, does not guarantee flights to actually *depart* when they should, and some kids just HATE HATE the plane. My child was a terror on the plane as a baby (from about 4 months until about 18 months) and NOTHING, not sleeping, eating, nursing, shiny toys,…
