I’ve read this book to a group of children. I would agree that it is graphic, but the graphic nature of it is the point. These are truths that children aren’t blind to, they just don’t have the word or knowhow to express their questions or concerns. Why are so many parents afraid of their children having real world…

I just don’t know how appropriate that is to be teaching that to 5-year-olds

Actually, Wet n Wild does still exist, and let me tell you, it is some of the best stuff in the drugstore. Their eyeshadows are INSANELY good. Try the Comfort Zone palette. Definitely not marketed towards kids anymore.

For Christmas one year I got this and thought I was in heaven.

I have a teddy bear that was my number one companion back in my wee days. One time, a friend who lived down the street decided to hold a sleepover for our stuffed animals. I wanted Snuggles to be nice and dressy for the occasion, so I took my Tinkerbell perfume and did the ol’ press-against-and-flip trick. You know:

We are all worried it is building up to some storm of the century type thing and a guy will come and ask for one of our children. We’ll give him one we don’t like.

Nah, it’s just gotten into Kim’s fondant makeup.

I feel like a lot of heartache would be saved here by people just adopting a pet.

you’re on the front lines!!!

As a fellow sufferer of mental health issues, I applaud you anytime you manage to do *any* of the things that your mental health often makes difficult.

This was my first thought too! My chronic pain conditions and anxiety mean that is sometimes is a feat to get out of bed or hold a reasonable conversation or clean my apartment. What’s so terrible about celebrating the little victories?

I often am stuck with a “I ain’t got the spoons for this shit” day and I have, on more than one occasion, awarded myself with a fancy coffee or a cookie just for taking a shower or brushing my teeth. Because there was a time in my life where those things didn’t happen for far longer than I’m comfortable revealing…

Team Dog. Team Dobrynya.

That puppy is gonna be a big boy, look at those paws. I just want to rub my face in that puppy’s belly and smell its puppy breath.

What the world needs now..is love, sweet love...and MORE PUPPIES!!!

That is one handsome dog!

I’ve loved the long sleeve under short sleeves look since the 90s (on the right people). Will. Never. Stop. Loving. It.

So sorry about your brother.

your parents were born like a year before my oldest brother was born...

Between knowing too many people to be failed by fathers (and the emotional toll that can continue to take on them throughout their lives) and thinking of the brother I lost earlier this year to heroin addiction, this was a gutpunch of a read this morning. A good gutpunch, but a gutpunch nonetheless. I’m really glad…
