Well when Boomba was a baby the first sounds he made were “boom” and “ba” When Critter was born he would curl up in a ball and tuck his hands and feet underneath him like a little armadillo.

I had a cat that could only squeak when she tried to meow. You could hear her purr from across a room

I *can* abstain. Not cant. So I'm one of the 9 who don't / won't admit they do. Third pregnancy, and honestly the thought of booze makes me queasy.

My son is a Chris! But the name seems to be much less popular than it once was and he hasn’t had a single class with another Chris in it.

Until all these groups get their shit together and come to a consensus that it is 100% OK to have a glass of wine or beer or whatever - I can abstain for 9 months.

Honestly... that looks like something you would buy at a craft fair for like $ 250.00 because it is unique and you have been drinking wine in the sun all day.

I agree. My nickname from middle school through college was Moosa (on account of my love of Moose) and it stuck so hard my own parents called me by it.

Yep, With all three boys I have scanned the “top boy name” lists and ruled everything on there out. If we had a girl this go around she was going to be Meara Lynn... but we are evidently incapable of producing female offspring.

Hey, in the 90’s we had glitter sans glue. That stuff stuck no matter what. Glue was unnecessary. Put it on once, wear it for an entire week.

Ugh, I don’t even own foundation. I usually go without make up - because getting 10 more minutes of sleep is SO much better. But when I do wear make up its typically just blush and mascara so I look less like a zombie. On special occasions I bust out the eye shadow AND eyeliner.

I knew a couple of boys named Sunshine and Avatar. But they were born to hippie parents living in Santa Cruz so it was totally normal for them. (Sunshine and Avatar were two side by side pipe shops in Downtown Santa Cruz)

My husband really wanted Optimus Prime or Barret Von Kaiser or (ugh) Espn... or Thor. Fortunately for our kids we had to compromise. The zaniest name we’ve churned out is going to be for the little guy arriving in January. Robert Dylan. Most (probably all) kids in his age group wont get it.

Nope, its the perfect age! Read them a picture book about a little squirrel who is teased because his name is different than the other woodland creatures. Have him save the day and end up being loved by everyone. Much easier than dealing with adults. Kids are usually pretty empathetic if you give them examples and let…

I think I was inspired by my little pony... Ironically there were already a couple of Crystal’s and a Diamond in my class - but no Crystal Diamond

Every.Single.Class. I was either numbered or lettered or nicknamed :P Jay, Jen, Jenny, Jennifer S, Jen 2. Fun times :P

So when I was in kindergarten back in the 90’s there were 6 other girls in my class named Jennifer. I wanted to change my name to Crystal Diamond but my mother wouldn’t let me go by Crystal Diamond (because it sounds like a stripper name)

Donated >.<

He went too far when he went method on his Hunter S Thompson roles...

Kinda beside the point... but who the hell allows their toddler to even sip coffee - especially before being contained in a car for a road trip?

I still don’t understand how they ruled that a fucking accident >.<
