It’s this!

You’re a dragon truther. I get it. But it’s totally a phoenix.

It’s a phoenix. You can tell by the beak and the tail feathers, which are traditional. I’ve got one on my shoulder that’s very similar in coloring, though it’s more stylized.

Seriously. Believe it or not, Toledo has a couple of really good authentic Mexican restaurants, and when you have access to that for a couple dollars more, you really have no desire to go to Chipotle.

I think there might be three. It was the beautiful illustrations that sucked me in, but my son loves the sing-songiness too.

Check out those statistics, too. For a regular, fertile woman of about age 24, the statistical ability to have children is, indeed, about 20%. Seems to me like it’s working.

Since the American Society for Reproductive Therapy declared freezing your eggs safe in 2012, nearly double the number women have coughed up the 10-20k for the procedure. Though few women gone back to thaw those eggs...

I’m newly pregnant and also a children’s bookseller. Naturally the first thing I did was start an (ongoing) list of books I absolutely need. Here it is:

Sandra Boynton is great for that age. Pajama Time! and The Belly Button Book, as I said in another comment. Oh, and Doggies, too.

My almost-two-year-old is really into the Little Blue Truck. Also many of the Sandra Boynton books are his favorites. The Belly Button Book, Pajama Time!, Baa Moo La La La. I’m also a fan of “Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes,” by Helen Oxbury. It shows how babies all around the world all have 10 little fingers…

Just give them a cardboard box. Babies love cardboard boxes.

The product was defective and the defect caused damage. The fact that the same damage could have occurred even if the product was not defective is irrelevant.

Maybe she has synesthesia?

Thanks! And FWIW, I agree about The Lost Boys. Like I said, I may have questionable taste but I’m okay with that.

Congrats!! I don’t know how old you are, but I myself recently turned 30 and received the best piece of advice my mother has ever given me on my birthday. It was “stop waiting to feel like an adult. I’m 62 and I’m telling you it never actually happens.” So yeah, adulting is strange and scary, but as someone who’s been…

My dad says that no one ever really feels like a proper adult but he knows how to rewire a lightbulb and understands the economy so I know he’s lying and is secretly an adult. He can have conversations with strangers. He’s an adult.

Fierce earrings is definitely a good idea!

This is only my kids but I love it: many years ago they woke up very early on Christmas. The rule always was that they had to wait until 6 am to wake us up. Little rule followers that they were, they decided to watch a movie until they could wake us up. They watched Ratatouille. And they have every Christmas since.…

We’re in the mountains for our annual fall trip. Trapped in a cabin in the rain with three kids and a dog. My tween is being z dick to his brothers and my husband is bitching at everyone. Sing it with me now, “traaaaadition, tradition!” Ugh. But we’ve had some fun, lovely drive through the mountains, trip to an old…

Starting new jobs is the absolute worst. Nothing makes me feel less sure of my entire life than the first few weeks of a job.

And hell, there’s a botched butt in the AD. Look how much bigger one side is than the other!
