My pediatrician waits to give the MMR vaccination until kids are 15 months (apparently the latest study says they get better immunity when it’s given at 15 months as opposed to 12, which is the minimum age you have to be). Well, La Petite Comtesse is 15 months today and I have an appointment for her early next week. I…

I SWEAR TO GOD, CHILD-FREE PEOPLE, WE’RE NOT ALL LIKE THIS! REALLY! HONEST! MOST OF US ARE VERY NICE AND REASONABLE!

Trust: I’m the product of teen pregnancy. I get it. What I object to is the “scandal” tone, I guess. It's a problem, it's a shame, in many cases it can be a tragedy, but it's not some tawdry gossip item we should be getting judgmental about. (Not that you were, just in general.)

Teen pregnancy, sure. Yes. The commenter, however, strongly indicated age discrepancy (highlighting her age) as a problem, which... sorry, I just kinda don’t care when two teens go at it? This kid isn’t exactly scandalous for getting a girl pregnant any more than she is for getting pregnant.

15. And he was 17. OMG TWO TEENAGERS WERE FUCKING: CLUTCH YOUR PEARLS, EVERYONE!

I’m being charitable...

“I’m sorry madams, but Auschwitz isn’t really famous for having the basic amenities.”

I mean... put that way it is a horrible question, but a similar question could be totally valid. I’ve talked to survivors who did do “fun” things while they were imprisoned—some made little crafts, or drew, or wrote stories. Some put on funny plays in the barracks. There were world-class symphonies in the ghettos. But…

YES! Jake G. is literally the only person I can think of whose overall look is not improved or just as good with a well groomed beard. It’s bizarre. His beard makes him look like he should be a portrait of a Union soldier or something.

I seem to remember that story!

It completely depends on the kid. At the Museum our general recommendation for visitors and policy for school groups was that we didn’t take kids younger than 6th grade to the 2nd floor, which was the exhibit on the Holocaust, because we didn’t feel they were emotionally ready, though exceptions were made from time to…

Well... Then *I*would be the questionable human in this story talking to a 5 year old about genocide.

Museum of Jewish Heritage in Lower Manhattan.

I have NO FUCKING IDEA.

Not to be too terrifically unkind, but I think she was just kind of ditzy.

Good place to share my two favorite tweens in museums stories...

If I were FPJr, this would be the picture I used for all social media.
